Hi,

Does anyone else have an issue where YouTube Live freezes or repeats the same few seconds on a Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen)? Regular YouTube videos work fine, but livestreams freeze and lose audio. Multiple people in the Google Nest community report the same problem.

I already created a topic about this, but I’m curious if more people have the same issue. If you also have this device, could you maybe test it and let me know if it happens to you as well? That would help confirm whether this is a larger issue. 🫡

What's this happen to do with Home Assistant?

@amber breach It’s a product about Home Assistant (Google), and since some people here also have one, I want to ask this question

Home Assistant is open source smart home system. Nothing to do with Google, apart from some integrations. But completely unrelated to playback issues on Google devices.

@amber breach Even though Home Assistant is unrelated to Google, can I still ask this question here? Maybe there are people with a similar setup who recognize this issue.

#

Don’t make it so complicated, I’m just asking a question that’s allowed here 😂

You asked, nobody answered - you bumped it. You're wasting your time with irrelevant auditory - and mine with reding irrelevant questions. 🙂

@amber breach Then it doesn’t mean to be angry 🙂

#

So apparently you didn’t have to respond to the ?? either are you just trying to make your point now?

It takes time to check. I follow closely for this channel and new topics in it, so I'm checking every new thing. If you insist on posting unrelated questions and bumping on them - I 'll just block you, no offense.
