Is anyone having problems with Pocketcasts on Sonos S2? I subscribe to a good number of different podcasts which were all working fine, but since this morning all BBC podcasts no longer play. I get the familiar error ‘the connection to the pod casts was lost’

 

I have tried re-authorising the account, also deleting account and setting up again but this has made no difference,

 

The effected podcasts are available and working using Pocketcasts outwith Sonos.

Working again for me. It was an issue within Pocketcasts according to their support..

I have the same problem, BBC Sounds podcasts from Pocket Casts will not play on Sonos.

I have had a response back from pocket casts. “I have an inkling of what this might be. In the past, the BBC has placed access restrictions, so I wonder if that's what's happening here.
 
Rest assured, however, that we are already investigating this issue.”


So hopefully it will get resolved.

I, too, have had that reply from Pocketcasts.

The same has been happening for me. Can't wait for this to get fixed!

I happened to check today and I am able to play bbc podcasts again. Not sure the fix if it was Sonos or Pocketcasts.
