Question

RSS Podcasts

Hello, I am trying to Add my CBC Hourly News RSS feed to Sonos. My goal is to have this play every morning when we wake up so we can hear the latest news. Would be great if we can stack these as well. When i try to add the RSS I get an error.

Has anyone esle had any luck with this?

This is the RSS https://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/includes/hourlynews.xml

Cheers,

    Hi @philippompili, thank you for your response.

    It would be great if you can add the RSS link to the Sonos app. What I can do is send in a feature request to make this available in the Sonos app. We don't have the timeline on this but you can check our announcements when this feature becomes available. 

    If you need help with any other information, please be sure to let us know.

    We're here to answer any further questions you have.

      I’m surprised to find this doesn’t exist, as I’ve also wanted to add RSS feeds for podcasts that happen to not be indexed by TuneIn. It sounds like one can do it by adding yet another service, but how many parties need to be aware of what podcast I listen to when? A timeline/tracking issue for this feature would be helpful.

       

      See also this old thread; apparently the capability existed and was removed many years ago.

        Very sad. This does not strike me as something that is terribly advanced. Google Home does this quite well. Maybe I'll try to line-in to my amp from a Chromecast. Still sad that this can not be done as is.
