My Question or Issue

When want to play some podcast (eg "Colette POGGI / France Culture") to our HEOS systems or my Yamaha amplifier,those device are greyed and show a "device unavailable at this time" message. Google Cast is usable.

If i change to another podcast it is ok (like "Silence on joue!") and i can play it on my HEOS or my Yamaha amplifier

Is there some restriction on playing podcast and why ?

Why it is not showed on the podcast info ?

Hey there @emgary,

Thank you for your post here in the Community.

Some podcasts are considered mixed media and cannot play on some amplifiers. However - there's this idea - [All Platforms][Connect] re-categorise podcasts as AUDIO so they play on Connect devices. You can leave a +VOTE and Subscribe to the idea for any updates.

We hope this information was helpful.

Take care 🙂

Hello,
this reply don't make sense since the Google Nest is an audio caste only device, so the same restriction should apply with it as my amplifier...

Hi @emgary, 

Thanks for getting back in touch. 

Even though your Google Nest is an audio caste only device, it's different from your amplifiers so the features and restrictions might vary.

In this case, it's well worth giving it a vote to show your support on the idea @Jeremy mentioned before. 

If you have any questions, let us know 🙂
