NTS live channels not working on S1 - infinite mix fine

Anyone else getting this? When you click the play triangle, it shows the square stop for a moment (which shows when it’s playing), and then goes back to the play triangle. The infinite mix channels are fine, but Live on 1 and Live on 2 are not working.

Hi ​@beepbeep, welcome to the Sonos Community!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues listening to NTS Radio on your Sonos system.

I gave this a test on my system, and I was able to play both Live on 1 and Live on 2 without issues, so it’s possible that there was a temporary outage for those two stations. Are you still unable to play the stations and are seeing the same behavior when you try to play them? If so, I’d suggest removing NTS Radio from your system by tapping the profile icon in the Sonos app → Content Services → NTS Radio → Remove Service, then re-adding it by selecting ‘Add Content Service’ on the previous page.

I hope this helps!

Did you try this on S1 though Jamie? We know there are additional limitations on streaming on S1.

Hi ​@controlav

You’re right, I missed the S1 in the title so didn’t test on that. As I don’t have an S1 system myself, I’ve asked for someone to test for me and will report back once I get an update, although I’d still recommend ​@beepbeep doing the steps above just to be sure that it wasn’t a temporary outage.

Yeah I removed and then re-added NTS and the same thing is happening - thanks for looking into it :)

Just heard back from my colleague who tested on an S1 system, but they were able to play both stations without issue. So we can have a further look at why they won't play, can you please do the following:

  1. Try to play “Live on 1” and “Live on 2”.
  2. Submit a diagnostics from the Sonos app.
  3. Reboot your Sonos system by powering off all your devices for one to two minutes.
  4. Remove and re-add NTS Radio.
  5. Test “Live on 1” and “Live on 2” again.
  6. Submit another diagnostics.

When you submit a diagnostics, you’ll get a reference number: Send the reference to me in a private message and I’ll follow up with the team to see what’s going wrong. If the stations do play after doing the steps above, I’d still recommend doing the final diagnostics and sending the reference to me.

You should ask someone at HQ to ship you a S1 device you can then have available for testing.
