Google Home Minis / Nest Minis wake from pause to play TuneIn ads then continue to stream radio

[sjk1000]

My Nest minis have been restarting streams recently and I've just discovered why.

When a radio stream has been paused/stopped, TuneIn (I assume, or just Google?) pushes an ad to the device. After the ad has finished playing the device continues to stream the previous radio channel as though it had never been paused/stopped.

The result is that devices seem to wake for no reason.

ps Dear Google, you can't push unwanted ads to an immature bug-ridden platform and expect users to still support it.

Hi sjk1000,

Thanks for reaching out. 

We're sorry to hear about this experience. Let's sort this out by answering these questions:

• Could you please verify if you have a TuneIn premium subscription? 
• From your Home app, do you see there an option to link TuneIn under "Assistant Settings > Music"? 

We'd love to know more of it so we can check on it further.

Best,

Princess
