Tunein
Abra Pabst
I've been listening to "VRT Radio 1 on Tunein" since many years. Suddenly, Google refuses to select this station and systematicly selects "VRT Radio 1 Classics on Tunein" instead, whithout me asking for 'classics'. I'm trying to find a way to make Google understand what I want.
The community mailer wants to know if I've got the answer I needed. First, THX Ashepherdson ! I really appreciate your response and was not expecting it. But the problem is not solved, sorry for that. Google adds data to my command, I can't correct anything, so we don't understand each other. I'm not the only one, for sure.
I tried your station and ran into the same issue with the Classics station playing. If you only listen to one station, manually cast it once, then the next time you want to play it just say ok google turn on the radio and it should default to the last station, this worked for me. Sadly even TuneIns own help page didnt offer any help ( -i-play-a-station-from-tunein-manually-from-my-google-home-app--r1lSgve1r)
Sorry for the late reply. I wanted to check in and see if you are still in need of any help with the device playing the wrong station. Please let me know if you have any other questions from here, as I would be happy to help out.
I am glad you were able to find a solution to the trouble you were having with the radio station. I have marked your post in case others are having the same issue, so they can find that quicker. With the issue being resolved, I am going to lock the thread at this time. If you have any questions from here, please feel free to create a new post.
HI @CrissyWissy if you go to Samsung Apps there are suggested ones, Group Content and Genre. Tune In radio should be available within the Lifestyle section of Genre. Some information here -do-i-install-or-uninstall-tunein-on-my-samsung-tv-
Some local radio stations are blocked when trying to access them through itunes, on a device connected to the home network, which uses Orbi RBR50 + 2 satellites. After months(not kidding) of debugging and support calls to amazon(for alexa devices), I can finally be sure it's the orbi that causes the problem, but I have no idea why. Basically, about 80% of the time, tunein will tell us the radio station(like -Radio-Canada-Premire---Qubec-1063-s18344/ ) is not available. But take the same device(be it a cellphone, or device like alexa) and put it on another wifi network that uses another router brand, and it works 100% of the time.
What could it be in the Orbi that prevent some stations on tunein form working? There is nothing configured on the orbi to block services or URL. Armor is activated though, but I see nothing in armor dashboard about this.
Very strange. I just now connected my Android phone to a second Orbi RBR50 which is connected to the primary RBR50 (that makes two Orbi routers it has to go through) and TuneIn Radio gets ICI Montreal, Ottowa, and Quebec just fine. TuneIn works through my Orbi, but not through yours.
So I wonder, "what could be different between Orbi and Google WiFi routers?" This sounds as if the Domain Name System is not resolving the internet address of those stations. The default setting for Orbi routers is to use whatever DNS servers the Internet Service Company suggests. I have changed mine to use CloudFlare (1.1.1.1) and Google DNS (8.8.8.8) - not for any specific reason; I just like changing things. Wonder what the default DNS server configuration for Google WiFi??? Would they, for example, default to Google DNS?
The problem is the Orbi, there is no denying that since if I put my old Google wifi as the router, everything works fine. Put the orbi back there, bang, station blocks most of the time. I'm not saying all stations are blocked though, but the one I listen to in the morning, 106.3 quebec, is.
I have updated the firmware(weird that it doesn't detect that version in the admin interface), same result(I did mention the problem was across mutliples firmware, so I wasn't expecting a miracle there.)
