TuneIn Radio seems to have lost BBC radio stations?

[RTHerringbone]

Per the title - has anyone else noticed this? It appears to have become an issue in the past couple of days.

We got rid of a defunct DAB radio in the kitchen and were streaming BBC radio stations through the Hi-Fi using TuneIn via BluOS. I initially assumed it was an issue with the streamer but it seems like the URLs to those stations have been changed or removed at the TuneIn end.

If I search for "BBC" in TuneIn to try to find the stations we had Favourited, they don't appear (I deleted the Favourites to see if that would help) 🤷‍♂️🤔

Yes Tunein crap. Every one has lost it.

BluOS don’t care, we have been asking for years for the to sort out sounds but they don’t see it as an earner.

yep; its gone from my Bose Soundtouch presets via TuneIn. Rubbish.

Lots of complaints on the Bluesound Forums today when I lost the service on my Icon.

A workaround has been discovered. Use the links here to create a URL favourite. You don’t get a nice icon but the service works. 👍

It's not a BluOS problem. Broadcasters decide to opt in their streams to TuneIn. So BBC decided to opt out. Remember Classic FM (UK) was once also on TuneIn, then they too opted out. A workaround is to add a URL, depending on the platform e.g. HEOS enables this. Haven't tried it though.

I've tried with HEOS and it works.
