ABC News audio irregularity

[rogerbohl]

One of my usual audio choices is ABC news. However, for some time it has been exhibiting strange behavior, and I don't know whether it is the station or the car: Each piece is a 3-minute segment. But each segment repeats, just once, then advances to the next segment.

Does your "3" exhibit the same behavior?

Yes, my 2017 S90D with software 2019.40.1.1 has this annoying bug too. Since you have a 3 and I have an S90D its likely a fleet wide software problem. Very annoying.

I found the FM quality not that great when driving, with a lot of fading and crisp noise.

I only use Streaming now, and the audio quality is great.

Cool. But not relevant - the issues the OP described are with a streaming station for ABC news delivered via slacker/tunein.

Thank you for the additional information which makes sense.

May be I'm wrong, but for me a 'station' is a radio station.

I think I would rather use the word 'channel' for a streaming program?

Now I'm puzzle how to call a streamed Internet radio station? (or a Web radio station)

Seems segment “repeat” is not happening today! No new sw update for me so perhaps some but was fixed on the server side? will watch and see if it remains “fixed”....

Same for me... I haven’t checked today but I thought I was stuck in Groundhog Day or something on a recent road trip.

FYI the temporary fix for me was to just advance it a track as it will skip the stories the same way you normally skip songs.

ABC streaming news is “stuck” playing the same set of stories downloaded about 6 weeks ago. I have rebooted amd shut down/restarted five different times over the last week hoping it would load fresh content but no change at all. Streaming podcasts like MacBreak Weekly seems to work normally, but ABC news is stuck in a time warp. Any ideas to fix?

I have solid wifi in the gar and generally good cellular and the no-updating does not change when driving between several cities.

Any ideas?
