One radio station (WPFW 89.3) will not play

Starting a few months ago, I can no longer play WPFW 89.3 (DC) on Sonos.  It plays in the TuneIn app, or on the station website, just fine, but when I try to play it through Sonos, I get a “Couldn't play content, try again” error.

Every other station I try works fine on Sonos, and WPFW works fine via the web and via TuneIn -- just not in Sonos (although it did until a few months ago).

This is my go-to weekend station, so I would appreciate if someone could help me solve the mystery!

    Sorry to hear that - next step I think would be to contact support - they will direct you to submit a diagnostics and they can do a deeper dive on their side - I honestly feel there is some caching issue going on - I forgot to ask earlier, are you completely up to date on ios/android and on the firmware side of things as well?  They will ask that as well on the support side.

    Good luck and keep us posted!

    Thanks

    The direct stream is https://streams.pacifica.org:9000/wpfw_128 which works in a browser, but Sonos reports ERROR_NO_PLAYABLE_CONTENT.

    HOWEVER, this stream works fine on S1.

    This appears to be a bug in Sonos S2.
