I am a member of YouTube Music and I have successfully added the service to my Sonos app in Android.

However, when I try to play music from YouTube Music it is showing a message that access is denied. Please help. Thank you.

Dear “controlav”,

An interesting flick pass / deflection. Samsung, Amazon, HBO and Firestick are simply off topic! They have nothing to do with this issue at hand.

The fact remains the “Hey Google” “Play dome relaxing jazz music” was working fine on SONOS until I switched over to the Boost connector (from Bridge) and the S2 App (from the S1 app). Now….nothing! Either “I can not access that right now” or “I can not find what you are looking for” messages come back over voice.

SONOS is all about connectivity, streaming (personal collection, free to air or paid subscriptions - ALL categories) and therein the underlying ease of use. SONOS should simply come out with a clear statement on what the problem is. If there is an issue, then tell your user community what the issue is and any plans to remedy it (or not).

I can use voice command on a smart phone and have YouTube stream convenient “free content" music to any number of “Bluetooth” connected sound systems.

Maybe that is the direction SONOS want their user community to take,….yes? We all move away from a purpose built WiFi based multi room HiFi / stereo system solution that was intended to be a streaming center mecca for ones audiophile universe! YouTube music (the free access content is simply convenient) and it is ubiquitous. Why would a loyal SONOS soliton user not want to have access to YouTube?

Now you are talking about Google Voice integration? Please, open a different thread for your problem with that. This thread is about how bad YTM/Sonos integration is.

Yes, both are produced by an ad company that is being sued by Sonos, but that is the only connection.
