Sonos One Google assistant and Youtube music premium

Error: Playback paused because this account is being used in another location

Sonos one bought in the UK, for at least 30% of songs it just skips the song and shows the above error.

 For example while playing Indian Summer by Jai Wolf

Hi @Murch, thanks for reaching out. I appreciate you taking the time to submit the diagnostic report. Regarding your concern, I’ll ask some things to assist further on this issue. 

  • Is it also happening on the Native Youtube Premium App?
  • Have you tried to remove and readd your Youtube premium account on the Sonos App to check if the issue will persist?
  • Can you try to change your password, just to make sure that no one is trying to access your account on other locations?

On the diagnostic that you provided, I can’t see any issues with the Sonos system. and with the Youtube premium subscription. If this won’t still work, then we’ll check for other options for this issue.

Let us know how you get on with the advice above.

We're here to answer any further questions you have.

Same issue here. Youtube Music Premium subscription and certain songs (about 30%) were skipped. It isn't solved anyway. 

No Problem playing those songs in the YT Music App.

Please could you fix this problem. Google Music is closed so we have no workaround yet. Thank you!
