SiriusXM problems....AGAIN

Diagnostic code 906861728

Getting really sick of this issue.  SiriusXM channels play for 15 seconds and then error out.  Today’s message is Unable to play - it is encoded using an unsupported digital rights management system.

 

15 Sonos speakers in my house..thousands of dollars...and I can’t play music.

    Hi @opustv 

    Welcome to the Sonos Community!

    Thanks for the diagnostics - we are currently investigating an issue whereby a fraction of SiriusXM listeners are unable to play reliably on their Sonos systems, and diagnostics are exactly what we need.

    So far, “corrupt file” messages have been reported, so your diagnostics may shed more light on the matter - be assured that I have already shared them with our engineers, and one is already taking a look.

    Thanks again!

    In the meantime, you may be able to work around this if you have an iPad or iPhone by playing on the device and then AirPlay-ing to Sonos.

    I received a call today that signals what I suspected may be going on - they said it has been escalated and worked on, and at the core - was an issue of copyright etc. issues.  I suspected as much.

    From whom did you receive this call? Sonos, or SiriusXM?

    Sorry - I should have mentioned this.  It was an escalation engineer at SiriusXM.

      I am on the phone with a tech now, having the same issue, they cannot fix it. So frustrating.

      They won’t be able to fix it - it used to be channel 750 and it was moved to the “Xtra Channels” area, which if you browse via Sonos, doesn’t come up/is not available.  So your old bookmarks won’t work.  This seems to have been done intentionally.  There must be some copywrite/licensing/royalties issues going on.  Also all music now on this channel is lesser known artists, songs and tracks.

      Any updates on this issue. I’m having the same problem. Is this a Sonos issue or a SiriusXM issue?

      And I don’t think it’s resolved yet…  Not sure what the issue is around DRM but one would think they could resolve the software licensing issue and move on.  Thank you apple and amazon and the free music services for still working :)

      What did Sonos support say when you called them with your diagnostic number?
