HomePod playing radio yesterday now says it can't play from tune in on this device

Hi, I setup my HomePod yesterday and was playing TalkSport radio fine. Now today after doing a reset to fix another issue Siri says "I can't play from TuneIn on this device". I doesn't seem to be a phrasing issue.

HomePod, 13

HomePod mini and TuneIn Radio station I recently bought a HomePod mini and am trying to play a specific TuneIn radio station that is in Apple Music (80s Soundtracks Radio) directly through the HomePod mini, but it does not recognize the station when I ask Siri to play it by name and I am only able to Airplay it. I have tried saying the station different ways, but it plays a different playlist instead or tells me it cannot play it as it doesn’t recognize the app (TuneIn). TuneIn radio stations through Apple Music are supposed to work with the HomePods but this one will not. Are there any suggestions on getting the HomePod mini to recognize the correct station? I don’t want to Airplay as this drains battery on the iPhone. Thanks in advance for any help.

"I can't play from TuneIn from this device" One of my HomePods refuses to play my radio station through TuneIn. My other HomePods happily play whatever station I ask for, as long as it is on TuneIn. When asked: "Hé Siri, radio, Virgin Radio AM", Siri responds saying: "I could not find what you are looking for on Apple Music or in your library". When asked: "Hé Siri, radio, Virgin Radio AM from TuneIn" Siri responds saying: "I can't play from TuneIn on this device." I have reset the HomePod in all ways known to me, obviously without result.

Hello,

Have you tried restarting your HomePod?

Unplug HomePod's power lead > Wait 30 seconds > Plug HomePod back in.

That worked, thank you.

Additionally I reset my router (also unplugging for 30 seconds), while the HomePod was unplugged. Restarted the router and then after a couple of minutes, the HomePod.
