Not able to play YouTube music on Hubmax via command

Luhars

Hi there, the Hub Max for some reason has suddenly stopped playing music on command. Whenever I ask it to play a song it says " I don't know but I found these results on search" 

I've had the unit for a month now and was working perfectly up untill yesterday. I have reset the unit and registered it again multiple times but not luck.

My YouTube premium account is connected and all is in order but it just doesn't work.

How do I fix this?

TIA

Hi Everyone, 

 

Thanks for posting.

 

Sorry to hear about what's happening right now with your Google Home/Nest speakers. Is there any way that you can try it on a different speakers? Is it isolated only with Google Nest Hub Max?

 

Let's go ahead and also try playing news, podcast and radio stations so we can isolate it further.

 

Let me know how it goes.

I am having the same issue all of a sudden now. Any way to fix this?

Nope, no luck yet. Contacted the chat support. The guy said will escalate this and have someone from the tech look at it and come back with a solution. It's been a few days since they've replied. Whenever I email em, all they say is we are aware of the issue and are working on it. Absolutely abysmal service. Didn't expect this from Google!

That is frustrating! Hope we get an answer soon

Hi Everyone, 

 

Apologies for the late response.

 

Could you please provide us the cast firmware version of your Google Nest Hub Max? 

 

To check the firmware version:

  1. Make sure the mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as the Google Nest or Home device.
  2. Open the Google Home app .
  3. Tap the device card of the preferred speaker or display.
  4. At the top-right, tap Settings Settings and then Device information.
  5. Under Technical information, find Cast firmware:X.XXX.XXXXX.

Lastly, let's perform a complete reset on your Google Nest Hub Max and let's see if the issue still remains after that so we can further check here.

 

Best,

Princess

Just a heads up that I am having this issue as well. I'm going to check the firmware update, but I think it's something related to updates to assistant

Hey billbushPDX,

 

Thanks for visiting the Community.

 

A few questions: when did it start happening? What's the exact command and what's the response of your Google Nest Hub Max when you play music? Also, do you have a premium subscription with YouTube Music? 

 

Give these steps a whirl:

 

  • Unistall and reinstall your Google Home and Google Assistant app.
  • Reboot your Nest Hub Max and router to refresh the connection.
  • Try resetting your device to its default settings.

Best,

Alex
