This week i have been unable to play RTE radio 1 on the Nest Home. It also won't let me cast RTE 1 from my phone to the Nest Home either. RTE radio 1 will play on my nest speakers and my LG chrome speakers. On the display, it brings up TuneIn and plays the "TuneIn" and then tries to load the station but then stops.
I have also tried to load all the other RTE stations and they haven't worked.
Nest Home (1st Gen)
RTE Radio 1, RTE 2FM, RTE Lyric FM, RTE Gold, RTE Junior, RTE Radio na Gaelteachta, RTE Radio 1 Extra
Newstalk fm, Today fm etc

Hi Muddi,
Can you provide more detailed feedback on what your team have actually done in terms of analysis?
Logs - what are these saying?
Considering other replies in this thread re TuneIn and Irish Radioplayer apps - it looks like the problem is on the RTE side.
Has your team any view on this? It would be easy to determine if the issue is RTE's and that there may have been some modification their side, more than likely a third party does this work for them and they need to raise the issue with them.
If Google can rule themselves out then people can start to press RTE on the issue.
The optics to me are that there may be no analysis done on your side and really you are just pushing the issue out and hoping it goes away. This may not be true, but its how it appears.
It would be good if you could share any insights your team has actually got, if any on this matter.
Kind Regards.

I think you are missing the point. No one is having issues with RTE on Tunein, that is working fine on multiple devices including Google devices. In the same way RTE is also working fine on the Irish radio player app. However neither app is working on Google Nest for Rte stations.

Muddi,
you do seem to be missing the point it is the nest hub that the issue is with. I have nest mini speakers and Amazon show devices TuneIn works on them all. The issues are with Google nest hub and it's implementation of TuneIn.

Folks, I notice the same issue is occurring on bose smart speaker as well, running Google.

Appears to be back working now.

Tunein stopped playing RTE Radio stations on my Google Home device about 2 weeks ago

Hi IRMG,
Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community.
I know how it feels when something isn’t working as it should, let’s get this resolved. A few things: Which Nest speaker? When you try to play other radio stations are they working? What steps have you tried so far?
Try to reboot your Nest speaker and WiFi router to refresh both device and WiFi signal.
Keep me posted.
Thanks,
Juni

This issue is not resolved on my Nest Hub devices - I still can't stream or cast RTÉ stations.
10-24-2022 12:08 AM
This issue remains unresolved - it appears to affect Nest Hub devices only and RTÉ Radio only. As per my original post: I am also in Ireland; RTÉ Radio stations play fine on TuneIn on my phone and I can cast from TuneIn to my OG Google Home and Chromecast on my TV but not to my Nest Hub.
10-24-2022 09:09 AM
Yes, still not working for me today either ..is there any timeline for the fix or know what change caused this to stop working ??
10-14-2022 09:22 AM
Hi everyone,
@roberthphall, Thanks for the update. I’ll keep this thread open for 3 more days as we wait for the follow up.

I received this today from RTE.
Unfortunately we're still waiting on updated timelines from Google or TuneIn for when this might be resolved. We're not aware of any changes in how RTÉ delivers it's audio and hope it can be resolved soon.
10-18-2022 11:52 AM
I also contacted RTE last week and am waiting for a reply. I tried casting from my pixel 5 phone to the nest hub but just gets stuck buffering.
10-24-2022 01:08 AM
I too have this issue which is very annoying. Based in Ireland
10-24-2022 01:46 PM
We also are experiencing the same issues as those above. It has pretty much made the hub max redundant in our kitchen.
10-24-2022 02:16 PM
So it looks like the fix needs to come from Google or TuneIn..there were no changes on the rte end to cause this. Has there been any updates from Google or TuneIn to say what could have caused this issue ?
10-24-2022 02:33 PM
I mostly use the Irish Radioplayer app rather than TuneIn when I stream radio on my phone - I can cast Newstalk, Today FM, etc from Radioplayer to my Nest Hub, but not RTÉ, so this issue is not exclusive to TuneIn.
10-25-2022 09:03 AM
I'm also having this issue.
More importantly, my grandmother had 2 weeks of loving her new Google Nest device and is now very annoyed at how it stopped working. Please fix it soon!
10-25-2022 01:50 PM
As suggested in the recommended answer above I have used the device feedback to report this issue to Google, along with previous reports to RTÉ, TuneIn and Irish Radioplayer.
Incidentally, I tried casting the native RTÉ Radio 1 stream from the Chrome browser on my PC to my Nest Hub and Hub Max devices this evening and it worked. However, RTÉ TuneIn streams don't load at all in the browser, but Newstalk, Today FM, etc all work fine - RTÉ stations can be only played in a non-https pop-up player (with explanation here).
10-26-2022 03:50 AM
how do you report this issue to RTE...I had a quick look on their website but there doesnt seem to be a form or easy way to report issues with playing RTE stations on TuneIn?
All info greatly appreciated.

Any update on this? I reported it via the home app as well but i've had no reply
11-02-2022 02:31 PM
Any update on it?
11-03-2022 04:22 AM
Just want to keep this topic alive. Need RTE radio stations back on Google Hub! Messing up my morning routine set-up not being able to access RTE1 on my Google Nest (as above works on Google Mini but not Google Nest)
11-03-2022 12:38 PM
We need a response from Google as to what they have done to resolve the issue.
10-24-2022 01:00 AM
For weeks now I have been unable to stream RTE Radio one and several other Irish stations. I am based in Ireland. Its very annoying.
10-24-2022 03:20 AM
Hi @sharkattack
I'm based in Ireland as well. Do you receive a specific error message?
10-24-2022 05:30 AM
No. The Rte logo appears but that is all.
10-26-2022 01:52 AM
I managed to get it working when i grouped it with another device - it then played on both devices.
