French radio station on nest mini in Italy

Baloo — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:06:19 GMT

Hello everyone,

until a few days ago, I was able to listen to France Inter (a french radio station) on my nest mini, in Italy.

Radio France (the broadcaster) stopped its TuneIn collaboration.. 😞

Is there any workaround to keep listening to France Inter on those Google Nest Mini, or do I have to sell those and switch to Amazon Echo Dot on which it keeps on working ?

Many thanks

Baloo

Maybe they moved to iHeart and you could change your default.

Don't switch. Use both simultaneously.

Nope, thank you.. They moved to their own app Radio France, that doesn't work from Italy with Google devices, with Amazon's it's working perfectly..

They will be given or on sale soon.. Useless now, those paired nest minis 😔

Hi Folks,

Thank you for posting. I'm sorry that your French radio doesn't show on your speaker; this could be frustrating, especially with your desired radio station that you've listened to before.

Here is a good article you can check and troubleshoot the issue about listening to radio on your Google Nest Speaker.

If none of the options didn't work with you, please share feedback to address it better and work on an update soon.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Byron

Thank you Byron for your answer,

Btw, it's not a single station that doesn't work anymore, it's all radio france stations (8 at least) , all french public service stations owned by french state: they stopped their agreement with TuneIn, because TuneIn with adding commercial before letting user listen to them..

As I already said the only workaround so far, using the RadioPlayer service, doesn't seem to work outside France, they told me they were looking forward with Google to solve/fix this in a few weeks, but I'm not buying that answer: if it might work it'd have already, if it doesn't now, why would it then..? 🤔
