TL;DR
- Google has fixed a longstanding bug on Google Home speakers that refused to play SiriusXM content.
- The company didn’t elaborate on what caused this peculiar bug in the first place.
- This glitch reportedly affected only Google Home speakers, with the SiriusXM app functioning normally.
For well over a month now, Google Home users have been unable to play SiriusXM content on speakers. There’s finally some good news on this front, as a fix has just been announced.
Back in late May, Reddit user Phanatic4 took to the Google Home subreddit to complain that speakers in their home suddenly refused to play SiriusXM. This is despite checking the status of their subscription, removing and re-linking the account, and rebooting the devices. All they’d get back from their speaker was: “I looked for that, but it either isn’t available or can’t be played right now.”
