RTE 1 and RTE Lyric not available

This problem (for me at least) is specific to radio stations accessed via the Tunein and Sonos Radio services on Sonos. RTE is available on the Tunein app and through a Google device.

 

is this just me?

    Add Radioplayer as a service and then find each of the RTE stations in their A-Z. Then add to My Sonos. (Helpfully they have different RTE logos/tiles than those from TuneIn so you can distinguish which is which)

    all the RTE stations now work perfectly through Sonos

    I have the same problem. No problem getting other Irish radio channels and what’s on offer on Tunein. 
     

    But no joy with any of the RTÉ channels. And not for the first time. I’m guessing someone in the RTÉ team has taken their eye off the ball - or not performed updates.

      It is a recurring problem. The fact that i can get it through Tunein on a Google device points a bit more to Sonos, but who knows.

      I’ve had the same problem for about a week.  It was working fine until then, but now I can’t get RTE Radio 1 via TuneIn.  It works fine in the TuneIn app.

      I am having the same issue. Cannot play RTE Radio stations on my Sonos speakers via Sonos Radio or TuneIn. Stations are available via the TuneIn app directly.  We have had to purchase a standalone radio for our kitchen and I am losing the argument with my wife noe regarding keeping Sonos.

      I don’t really care whose problem it is  - Sonos, TunIn or RTE.  it needs sorting pronto

        The problem appears to be TuneIn radio on Sonos. If you enable "Radioplayer" app instead all RTE stations appear to work. I saw on Twitter that RTE support equally frustrated on this one. Hope that works
