Bluesound Node and MyTuner Radio

[matt e.]

Bought a new Node during prime day and enjoying it. Is it possible to play MyTuner Radio on a node? I have the skill installed in Alexa and can listen on my echo devices and in the car with the android app, but cannot figure out how to use it on Node.

TIA, Matt

Thank you. That should work. I have a current model...just called a Node. Bought it a month or so ago when it was on sale during prime day. Impulse buy, but I like it. I recently upgraded my TV to a new OLED that has an HDMI eARC output and the Node supported that and since I've got plenty of old amps around here thought I'd give it a try. Then decided I didn't really want my tube amps on all the time while just watching TV so I bought a little Fosi V3 to use with it. Then bought a Bluesound DUO30 2.1 speaker set on closeout for a pretty good price. Supporting the economy, lol.

I have one of the older Nodes (no DAC) but I stream internet radio with it and it also connects my system components to my internal network as well.

I have a Node 2 and use the integrated TuneIn app for background listening. Not familiar with MyTuner Radio. If they support the Node then you should be able to configure it. If not there are many other streaming services available.

Worked with this some more, this link for example:

Works fine on my pc browser, but when added as a custom url in TuneIn I get a player notification of unsupported content.
Then I tried listening through the HDMI input of the node via the internet browser app that came standard with my Samsung TV and it won't work there either.
Then I learned there is a smart TV app for myTuner Radio, installed it and and now I can hear it through the HDMI port selection on the node and it sounds pretty good, especially the "exclusive radio" channels.

There are lots of "exclusive radio" channels for various artists and it's free from the United Arab Emirates. You can listen to say "fleetwood mac", but a search of "stevie nicks" comes up empty. No John Prine or Lucinda Williams either, but Stevie Ray Vaughn and many others. Unsure of the bitrate, but it sounds pretty good to me.

With the Alexa - myTuner Radio skill installed a simple, "Alexa, ask my tuner radio to play Linda Ronstadt" for example is all it takes, but only works on my echo devices.
