BBC Radio BBC Sounds

[Steelydaniel]

I have an Ultra and a mini grouped. Live BBC radio 6 is fine. However trying to get any content from BBC sounds on the two devices is very problematic.
I may just be approaching this incorrectly, but if anyone can tell me how this needs to be set up to enable this to work, I would be very grateful.
Or if I am trying to do something that is impossible, I would be very grateful to have this confirmed.

To use BBC sounds, you have to use googlecast/ chromecast from your phone or tablet. To use it on two or more devices, you have to set up a group in the google home app and select the group from your cast menu.

Unfortunately the mini doesn’t support Chromecast so that wouldn’t work.

Alternatively, if you’re on iOS, select the Mini, link it to the ultra and then airplay to the Mini from the bbc sounds app.

If you’re on Android, I’m not sure if you could Bluetooth to one and have the sound linked to the other - maybe worth a try

I overlooked that

I often do, particularly if it’s first thing in the morning or last thing at night

Just tested this and it does work (with 2 ultra's)
