Has there been a fix for SONOS not working due to geographical stream locks?


Hi I have not been able to play one of my usual stations since the Autumn that is on Tunein.  A quick search on here lead me so multiple posts on here talking about the SONOS  app update at the time and one poster helpfully quoted below comment form SONOS explaining the issue was due to some stations having geographical restrictions??

”We are aware of there being issues with certain radio stations not working, due to geographical stream locks. We are looking into it and we will provide updates as soon as we have any.”

Has anyone heard if there is an update on this?  I have deleted the stations from my favourites - deleting and reinstalling the Tune in App and the SONOS app, resetting my broadband etc - everything I could think of - to no avail.

 

Im in the UK and that stations I’m most bothered about is just my local town community station.  Whenever I try to play it - I get the Welcome to Tune in opening and then one advert - then nothing - until that loops and play again. 

 

Can anyone help.  There was mention of using a streaming URL - but I have no idea how to do this bit. 

Did you find what you were looking for?

Try a different radio aggregator than TuneIn.

Go here and check “radio”: https://support.sonos.com/en-us/services?region=gb

I’ve just done a search and found my local radio station has it’s own app - so not touching tune in at all.  It still wont play on my SONOS.

It’s clearly not an issue just with Tune In. 

I’ve also just tried adding the streaming URL into tune in and saving it that way - still no joy :(
