Change BBC Sounds app_id #753
Conversation

@emontnemery, could you approve this? |
|
Just bumping this PR as a bunch of my automations (that rely on playing BBC Radio!) are currently broken. |
|
Another bump - workaround URLs being used as a temporary measure have now been removed by BBC 😒 |
|
I'll add to this, spent the last hour wondering what I did to break the radio for my other half. Only to find the URLs when opened in a browser, just saying GONE. Any log info etc you need, please ask, likewise happy to help test any solutions. |
|
@MartinHjelmare, can you merge this? |
|
A codeowner should review. |
Do you happen to know who that is? I thought I saw you approving dependency version increase PRs. |
|
Dependency bumps normally don't require you to know the code of the library. Erik is already tagged two weeks ago. No need to tag him again. When someone has time, they will get around to it. |
In this case the only change is a change to an ID, so no code knowledge is really required. Sorry, I don't mean to be a pain, I just wasn't sure whether Erik was a Home Assistant employee or whether he might not be active here anymore. |

This is live in the Home Assistant 2023.11.3 release and I can confirm that BBC Sounds casting is working for me. |

Strange not sure what I'm doing differently but just updated and still not playing any bbc channel apart from World Service. Trying to find some logs to see if I can work out why the update hasn't worked for me in the same way. EDIT: so manually steaming them to my Chromecast does work, but oddly trying to do this to the PC failed. I'm also guessing the limited range is due to that's all we can get now with their restrictions (radio 2, 4, 5, 5ex, 6, some local channels). So no radio 1, 4ex, or most of the local stations. Thanks for what we got. Let's hope a long term solution can be found, most like via an iPlayer style add-on. |
BBC Sounds have changed their app_id.
