Pandora STILL muting when used as source on Apple TV

[Calinnen]

Hello, this has been a beyond frustrating saga. I've tried everything... Every chat bot, every AI every Reddit post, and this issue which has been happening for years now is still here.

The issue is when using the pandora app on an apple TV and using it to broadcast via AirPlay, the music on the source apple TV will. Not. Play. Agaaaain.

Honestly, I've loved pandora for a billion years. Even as Spotify and apple music and all the others have been eating pandora's lunch. I stick by. But this is obnoxious. I will be cancelling until such time this ---- bottom barrel bare bones basic functionality issue ---- is fixed. I'm blown away. Whoever is in charge of the app dev needs to hit the stop the presses button and release absolutely nothing else new until this, say it with me, ---- bottom barrel bare bones basic functionality issue ---- is fixed. Please, please, please fix this, I love you guys, but you exist to play music and right now you do not play music. Feel free to contact me if you need me to help trace, reproduce get on the phone, whatever.

Pandora app version: 2602.1.2 on apple TV OS

Apple TV OS version: 26.4 (23l243)

Hi @Calinnen 

Welcome to community, and thanks for taking the time to share!

I’m really sorry to hear how long you’ve been dealing with this, especially after hearing all the ways you've tried to get it resolved. I can understand how frustrating that experience would be when you’re just trying to listen.

I’ve gone ahead and passed along your report, along with the details you included about your setup, to the appropriate engineering teams who are investigating this behavior. 

We truly appreciate you sticking with Pandora and taking the time to share such thorough feedback, it’s incredibly helpful for the investigation. I know this hasn’t been an ideal experience, and we appreciate your patience while this is being looked into. 

Thanks again!
