when trying to play youtube or youtube music, the nest mini and 2nd gen hub dont work. it seems to be loading and loading, but even after few hours it does not stop the loading icon. I used to be able to play music last week. there is a locked thread that I could not see what the solution was.

similar issue but solution is not visible:

@Jake 

it does not work when asking the hub to play by voice command or when connecting to is using WIFI iphone (which again, all was working a few days ago).

 

restarting all the devices, including the wifi, did not work. factory reset of the devices was not tried yet, looking for a solution.

Thanks

Hey AlmightyIG,

 

I'm sorry if you're having trouble playing YouTube Music on your Google Nest devices — let's sort this out.

 

A quick questions did you use the same Google Account in your Google Nest devices and YouTube subscription? Are you getting the same result when playing music from other music provider like Spotify? Also, resetting your device might help refresh your device.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,
 
I am not experiencing the same issue with Spotify, it works well but I prefer YouTube, so it is disappointing for me. YouTube also works better than Spotify with google (when it actually playing).
 
The account for YouTube and google devices is the same (my account).
 
I have reset all the devices, but not “factory reset”, just a normal one.. 
 
I’m also using the YouTube account on smart TV (Samsung) and having no trouble with it. I’m using the YouTube account on my phone and PC with no issues as well.

Hey AlmightyIG,

 

Understood. To cover all our bases, are you getting the same result when playing YouTube using the Google Assistant app on your phone. Also, try resetting your Google Nest devices to see if that helps.

 

Best,

Alex

Hi,

 

reseting did not help. Trying to google assistant also did the same issue.
