I vote for this issue.

I cannot use this data without the dates - as it makes mash-ups with other feeds
impossible.

Any news on this? The videos on a users favorites page *are* sorted correctly, so the information must be there 
and the feed is just being wrongly constructed. I'd love to see this fixed.

Sorry to see this is considered low priority.

It's in the top 10% of issues if you sort by # of stars/votes.

I'm really looking forward to this issue being fixed so I can start using YouTube 
favorites in mashups. 

So far, I can use all other google data in mashups because they have 'published' 
data (e.g. Calendar, Reader, Blogger, Picasa)

YouTube Favorites is the only google feed with a problem here.

I'm waiting on this feature before I integrate YouTube videos into my application. I have currently integrated RSS, 
Flickr, and Twitter, but without the date information on favorites (and playlists as well...) I'm going to have to 
hold off for now.

Implementers of Facebook-style personal newsfeeds (see FriendFeed, Escaloop, etc)
have no way to integrate Youtube favorites until this feature is added, aside from
constantly scraping user favorite pages to generate their own approximate "added" times.

The API largely un-usable for my purposes without this feature.

I'm also eagerly awaiting this feature. Like many of the users above, I can't do
anything with the favorites feed without the date the video was favorited. I hope the
priority on this gets bumped up. If this information isn't being stored, let us know
so we can stop hoping.

Come on guys, pretty pleeeeeeeease? :-D

I don't see why it's missing in the first place. Gets my vote!

Please implement this, i can't use the feeds from favorites or playlists without this.

It makes no sense how there could be a user favorite feed without date added
included. I'm agreeing with sav74sac that this omitted information makes this feed
absolutely useless.

Yes this feed NEED a user_added date with it or its useless.

Friendfeed supports it already (from YouTube)... so Google should have it.

I'd like to see this implemented too

Don't see why it is low priority, for something as simple as this, it would take very
little time to fix, so why hasn't it been done? Please could this be fixed.

It's been over a year and this still hasn't been implemented. I've cobbled together a
workaround that can approximate the "favorited" date. It's not exact. I currently
have the polling interval set to 20 minutes, so the favorited date can be off by as
much as that, but it's better than nothing.

All this does is basically make a copy of the RSS feed from Youtube and replace their
published date with a UTC date for the estimated favorited date.

It's still a work in progress and VERY bare-bones, but you guys are welcome to test
it out and make any suggestions. The address is http://www.jrsmith.net/lab/youtube_feeds/

For V2 the atom:published and atom:updated reflect the time the favorite was added.
There is a new tag inside of <media:group> called <yt:uploaded> that gives the
datetime that the video was uploaded.

I don't see any of these changes reflected in the feed. Is it something that will be
rolled out soon?

Yay - finally fixed. Thanks!

It's there... in the <pubDate> and <published> tags.

Try this for your feed, replacing your username in the URL:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/<username>/favorites?v=2

Ah, I was missing the version query parameter. Thanks for pointing that out.

Major thanks for fixing this!
