I have 6 x Sonos Ones and SL’s, 2 x Sonos Amps and 3 x Sonos Ports which, as you can imagine, was a huge investment on my part to channel my YouTube Streaming Music via my Android phone across my property. Recently YT Music (YT) stopped working. When I try to play a YT playlist, I get the spinning circle of death on the play symbol. On the 1 time out of 15 it works, shuffle no longer works. Or it plays one different song then repeats the 4 songs its already previously played. Then it goes back to not playing at all.
I have unlinked my account, relinked, reset my router, ‘forgotten’ my entire system, reset and reconnected every one of my components, uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, relinked YT, and relinked components. Sonos S1 gives me a really helpful option to download a google chrome app instead of downgrading my system to work on the S1 App.
I see you can connect to the system by bypassing the Sonos App completely and connect directly to the system via the Spotify app. However, it only recognizes some of my components, not all now (a new feature). This function is not supported in the YT Music app.
I was a huge Sonos fan and was prepared to back that with thousands of dollars of investment in hardware. So Mr Sonos, what do I do please, aside from selling it to a punter with a penchant for half the system running ‘reliably’ on the Spotify App or do I simply scrap Sonos as an option and look at another brand? Why you had to replace a perfectly good working app and then brick it, is beyond me. Any help here would be appreciated
