Can't play Virgin Radio on S1


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

As of this morning I get the following message when trying to play ‘Virgin Radio UK’ on S1:

“Unable to play Virgin Radio UK - the song is not encoded correctly.”

It is working as usual on S2.

I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the Virgin Radio service on the S1 app.

It’s working here for me on S1 - maybe give it another try. I’m accessing it from the S1 App search tab using Sonos Radio. I’ve attached a couple of screenshots.

Ah I see now you’re using their own in-built radio service - rather than Sonos Radio etc. I just quickly tried it too and yes it’s not working here either. I think it’s Virgin Radio that may need to fix it - perhaps drop them an email/text…

If it’s a ‘new’ feature, it may not get included in S1….since that is getting bug updates only.

Yes, using the Virgin Radio service.

Tried again today, same result. It has been working perfectly over the last several months.

Yep it’s certainly not working for me too in the S1 App. I see the same error… maybe the Staff will pickup on it after the weekend.

I usually listen to Virgin via TuneIn on my S1 Sonos system. This morning, it sounded all garbled - like it wasn’t tuned to the signal fully (for those that remember life before DAB).

I tried Virgin on another couple of radio services (MyTuner and radio.net) and also a sister station (TalkSport) through TuneIn/MyTuner/radio.net but all sounded the same.

I then added the Virgin Radio UK Service to Sonos, but I get the same error message you are reporting - song is not coded correctly.

Other Radio stations I’ve tried all seem to work fine.

Hi @User279803 

Thanks for your post!

Could you please recreate the issue and then submit a support diagnostic, replying here with the number given? Please also let me know the name of the room that you attempted to play in. Thanks.

@Ken_Griffiths - if you could please do the same, that would be swell, thanks.
