Yamaha RX-V481 Net Radio - Please wait- RESOLVED

[ronczap]

Trying to listen to Internet Radio was working yesterday, but now it shows "Please wait" on the display. I have the latest firmware version (2.59).
Also the vTuner radio guide web page returns 404 error http/

Did Yamaha discontinue Net Radio?

Same problem in Serbia. Net stations are in “loading” status. When I try to search net stations with Yamaha MusicCast app it says access error. I use TuneIn on my phone, hope it won’t be the problem to switch from vtuner

 

[dalboyne]

Looks like Yamaha have a major problem!

I've asked them about it on Twitter and Facebook. I wonder how long before they reply.....and fix it!

 

[mwal76]

Had contact with Yamaha Europe via Facebook. This is their answer:
Hi,

All Yamaha products get the Internet radio provider TuneIn.

So there is a change from vTuner to TuneIn.

Products from 2018 have the TuneIn already in it. So it affects the devices until 2018.

The update is coming.

Best regards

Sorry, it was a FB messgae, and they have now replied:

"Hi,

So I've asked them again - how long before the update comes?

They've clearly messed up!

hi, colleagues. the same in Russia . RX-V475 . It's not working. yesterday still all was. News about TuneIn is not very happy. how will this work with the addition of the personal stream . plus favorites will not transfer to the new server, so I think.

I have the same issue, thought it was my network connection but tried over wireless and lan cable and issue persists

 

[maxvanregteren]

Hi, same problem here, I'm from the Netherlands.

Good to read Yamaha comes with an alternative with TuneIn, I hope the update is coming soon.

Thanks for sharing the information!

 

[bartoloz]

It seems nobody in Yamaha cares about update cycle and customers eventually.
Someone knew that ageement wih VTuner finishes at the end of the year and we are left without our lovely network radios.

Btw. I have r-n500 and the same issue in Krakow, Poland today.

Looking forward device update ;-)

[hbhoekstra]

same problems in the Netherlands, Yamaha RX-V477

Hetzelfde met de rx-v479. Heb er nog een raspberry pi aanhangen met kodi en een paar radio addons. Probleem al een stuk minder

The message I just received on my instagram account

Hi Aleksandar,

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Team Yamaha

i get this from Yamaha

Dear,
thank you very much for your inquiry about RX-V481D.
Yamaha has discovered that some of its network-capable products have an
unstable connection to Internet radio stations. We are currently
investigating the situation and trying to find a solution as quickly as
possible. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your
understanding.

Best regards
Your Yamaha Customer service team

Maybe someone should tell Yamaha vtuner broke up partnership

 

[kristijanserafimov]

I have the same problem. Yesterday was working but not today.

 

[brunobih]

Same problem in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have Yamaha R-N301 , and no intrenet radio since yesterday.
Obviously they are making fool of us with answers like this. This is not unstable conection with some Yamaha products, as they said.
vTuner has new page and Yamaha is not listed as partner anymore, and anyone can check it on their web site.
If they don't find solution soon, many of us will aviod Yamaha products forever.
I know that doesn't mean too much for coorporation like Yamaha, but for our money we deserve better costumer support,at least.
