I’m getting the error “the track is not encoded correctly” on Sonos S1

I’m getting the error “the track is not encoded correctly” on Sonos S1 when trying to play DR’s radio channels via DR LYD. Both the app and firmware are fully updated, but the issue happens every time.

It seems like a compatibility problem with DR’s current stream format on the S1 platform.
I do not want to use TuneIn as a workaround, since I prefer using DR’s official stream.

Does anyone know whether DR’s current stream is compatible with Sonos S1, or if there’s a proper fix

Since I haven’t read this thread in English, is there a connection?

Same for me

Ja, det er sandsynligvis det samme problem. Kan se der arbejdes på sagen. Tak for svar.

Translation from Danish:

Yes, it's probably the same problem. I can see that the issue is being worked on. Thanks for the reply.

I went from not being able to play certain Liked tracks from Soundcloud to none of them being "encoded correctly". I removed SoundCloud as a favourite service, and uninstalled and reinstalled both the Soundcloud and Sonos apps on my Pixel and all liked SoundCloud tracks are dead to me on Sonos.
