Yamaha: Music stops at the beginning of the song

My Yamaha AV receiver is having this same issue.

Music plays for four seconds, then stops. I have to hit play, and then the rest of the song plays. Next song starts, and then stops after 4 seconds. It does this for every song.

Hi @zynkin

Welcome to the community! Sorry to hear you’re running into this, that definitely sounds frustrating.

I can try refreshing the connection from our side by removing the Yamaha receiver from your account. After that, I’d recommend power cycling the receiver by unplugging it from power for at least 5 minutes, then plugging it back in and reconnecting to Pandora.

If you’re okay with me removing the device, just let me know and I’ll take care of that for you and follow up once it’s done.

Thanks!

Hey, @zynkin - all taken care of, I've removed the link between your Pandora account and your Yamaha. This can typically take a couple of hours to take affect, so I would give it a little time. Don't forget to power cycle your Yamaha by unplugging it for at least 5 minutes.

Let me know how it goes.
