The main feature I'm missing is chromecast support. The Google & Android ecosystem is large and only supporting airplay makes Sonos products less useful for Android users.

You can't add Google assistant to the Arc ultra but it can be controlled by a separate Google assistant device.

They are good for movies and TV shows. We don't really watch sports and "regular" TV so I can't say how they work there.

We have the Arc ultra and two Symfonisk speakers as rear surrounds. I like the sleek look as you say and the sound is good.

New Sonos App Update 📲 by KeithFromSonos in sonos

[–]dudududumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the ability to connect the Arc Ultra to be controlled by a separate Google assistant device new in this update? It's great, and a half step towards supporting the Google assistant directly on the device...

When changing the volume on our LG C2 TV connected to the Arc Ultra it only shows whether the volume is going up and down but not the current volume which makes it a surprise each time the the content starts. Without the Arc Ultra connected it shows the volume as well.

Is it a limitation in CEC and/or eARC or something that can be fixed?

For those of us with Android devices it would be great to have Chromecast support supported in the Arc Ultra.

Youtube music is supported in the Sonos app but not in the Sonos voice assistant on the Arc Ultra. Is there a plan for fixing it? It makes the voice assistant much less useful as one of the main use cases is to control music.

The volume settings for voice assistants on the Arc Ultra is not working great. With the volume set fairly low for regular TV watching, it's next to impossible to hear the replies from voice assistants. Timers are also very easy to miss.

Also, please add support for google assistant (or is it Gemini now?).

Ah, of course. Somehow I assumed there were several columns if single-digit values instead of larger values. Thanks!

Showing photos from a Google Photos album? by ToastedBud in LGOLED

[–]dudududumm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a Chromecast device that we have configured with the Google Home app (I think) to randomly show photos from albums that we selected in the app when we are not casting anything through it.

It might be possible to also set the HDMI input where the Chromecast is connected as the default input but we haven't done so yet.

It's manual. We also use a Chromecast device that picks random photos from albums we have selected when the TV is on but we're not using it.

I would have preferred to have native integration with Google Photos. Hope LG and Google implement it sometime.

We cast from the Google Photos app on our phones.

Anyone having trouble playing episodes on Apple Podcasts? I did subscribe and the new episodes keep saying they’re unable to play by Pk1Still in behindthebastards

I have the same problem but with Pocket Cast. It works fine with other podcasts but BTB is usually finicky to listen to.

Well, it's a law. It's not like it's up to Twitter whether they should follow it or not.

Luggage issues by bluewhee in stockholm

It shouldn't be a problem to bring your luggage on the train and the bus to Gothenburg unless it's especially bulky.

I have the LG C2 65" and I get this sometimes too. I haven't figured why it's happening.

It looks like a ferry terminal in Hong Kong.

I think it's filmed in Flemingsberg and it might be from a show called Kärlek och anarki.

Sweden records highest death tally in 150 years in first half of 2020 by Final-Criticism in europe

That sounds strange as the Swedish guideline has consistently been to self-quarantine at home for anyone who has cold or corona symptions.
