error adding to playlist in YouTube

I recently bought an iPhone 6 Plus and uploaded iOS 8.1 and YouTube app. I opened the YouTube app and find that Favorites is no longer listed under playlists. I tried playing one of the videos I liked and add to playlist and I get "error adding to playlist".


Has anyone had this issue and how do I fix it? I have searched the internet and haven't found any way to fix the issue other than to send feedback to Google.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1

In the new YouTube app, you’ll need to make sure you have a channel name set up first before saving any videos to your Playlists and Favorites. You can easily create a channel name by logging into YouTube.com on your desktop or visiting m.youtube.com on your iPhone.
Creating a channel name on YouTube.com:
1. In your desktop, go to www.youtube.com.
2. Click on your username and click on My Channel.
3. You’ll now be prompted to create your own channel.
Creating a channel name on m.youtube.com:
1. On your iPhone, go to m.youtube.com in your iPhone’s browser.
2. Press Sign in located at the bottom of the home page and sign in with your YouTube account information.
3. Press MenuUser uploaded file.
