abc radio stations not playing on sonos 1 - sill playing on sonos 2 (other stations still playing ok on both)

It’s the unfortunate price we pay for ’smarter’ devices, and it becomes much more difficult to find the ‘old fashioned’ kinds of things. Selling to ‘Luddites’ appears not to be profitable. 

This article might shed some light on what’s happeed at ABC’s end.

I am having the same problem, no ABC on S1 devices, S2 works fine.

Bascially the ABC have rationalised their service to either the listen app which isn’t directly compatible with Sonos S1 or Radioapp which also won’t play these streams on Sonos.

Tunein is no longer an option and Sonos radio also won’t play these streams.

AI is telling me ABC changed the streaming format and S1 devices can’t handle it?

Are you using RadioApp, per https://help.abc.net.au/hc/en-us/articles/360001153396-How-can-I-listen-to-ABC-radio-through-Sonos ? 

Generally speaking, S1 uses a smaller list of recognized root certificates, and this can cause streams to no longer be playable on S1 systems as the SSL negotiation will fail.

However reading the above article seems to imply that S1 should still work via RadioApp, so I would reach out to ABC and let them know (they likely have no S1 systems to test with).

Thanks - abc sent the following response:

We are continuing to investigate issues playing ABC radio stations on Google smart speaker devices that is causing audio to pause and repeat.
 
We are also aware some older Sonos speakers have lost ABC radio stations - this appears to mostly be affecting Sonos Series 1 and the cause is under investigation.
 
In the meantime, ABC radio can be heard on the ABC listen app / website on mobile devices, the ABC listen website on desktop computers, AM/FM radio, DAB+ digital radio in metro areas or ABC Radio channels on TV. Normal troubleshooting steps (such as those listed below) are not required at this stage. Thank you for your patience while we try to resolve these issues with the third parties that repeat our streams. 

Sill not working this morning.  The RadioAPP 891 ABC Adelaide has the same pop up message.  I tried all Australian Capital cities ABC and it is the same pop up.

Since all Sonos does is point their controller/speakers to ABC’s (Australia) servers, have you checked with them on their progress, as the OP did?

Oh awesome - Will give it a go tonight - thanks for the update

+1 for MyTuner Radio, allowed me to get ACB Classic FM back which other app don’t cover.

Thank you yes it now works
