    Hi everyone, Anyone else have trouble playing downloaded YouTube videos (on the YouTube app) when connected to the HomePod Mini? The video just flickers and not play, but if I choose the video outside of the ”Downloads” section of the app, the video does play. Also, sometimes the video just...

    I have 5 LiFx bulbs in a room (named; A, B, C, D, E) When I ask my HomePod mini to 'turn on light A' the light goes on— BUT no reply from Siri. When I ask my HomePod mini to 'turn on <any of the other bulbs>' the light goes on— with a Siri response, "OK, Light 'x' is on" When I ask Siri via...

    HomePod 16.2 and still HomePods are broken

    So disappointing. I had high hopes for 16.2 - especially with the new Home architecture. Did all the updates to my 7 HomePods (2 stereo paired minis, and an OG HomePod).... updated the architecture... Tried "hey Siri play some music everywhere......." Responded with "working on it....." (NOT...

    I‘m interested in buying a HomePod Mini as I have several Apple devices at home. However, I also have a bluetooth turntable and to my knowledge there’s no way to use it with a HomePod since those don’t support Bluetooth streaming (only Airplay I believe). Anybody’s got a solution? I read...

    HomePod HomePod Mini pair works for music but not TV

    I have set up a HomePod Minis as a pair. This works wonderfully with music! Sound comes out of both speakers to create a stereo effect as you would expect. The problem starts when I watch tv. Everything is only playing out of one speaker. It's annoying! I'm using Apple TV so I assumed this...

    Hi all, I have a new HomePod mini and was interested in using it as a speaker for my Ipad when watching videos.

    HomeKit ‘Hey Siri, goodnight’

    ‘Night night.’ - everything remains on. Anyone else having this issue since updating to 15.4? It’s always worked in the past, nothing has changed and she acknowledges what I’ve set but doesn’t set the ‘Goodnight’ scene.

    YouTube Playback Speed from Apple TV 4K Paired to HomePod mini

    On my Apple TV 4K (1st gen), which I have set up to pair with one HomePod mini, when I play YouTube videos at double the playback speed, I don't get the sound to properly sync since I am doubled on my speed of playback. The whole sound experience gets real choppy. Is it something people here...

    HomePod HomePod mini issue

    We have had HomePod mini for a few months but have only encountered this issue yesterday. Possibly caused by 1 5.3 update. The device recognises my and my wife’s voice separately and is pretty good at playing our own individual playlists. However when my wife asked Siri to play her station it...

    HomePod HomePod Mini insists music is playing when it isn’t

    Before I launch it out of the window, does anyone else have an issue with their HomePod mini ‘playing’ music just to stay silent. I’ve checked the obvious things like volume, Siri responded to requests then just sits there silently whilst music doesn’t start, albeit shows on my iPhone. The...

    Apologies if this exact topic has been discussed, but I didn’t find it in the forum. I am currently building a new home, and we have the option of adding a home audio system with built in speakers in the ceiling.

    Can anyone at Apple finally decide to ship the HomePod mini to the EU? Or should we buy Sonos with a Spotify subscription?

    iPhone 13 Pro Max I caved in......

    Well as always I could not control myself ? I managed to get a hold of a Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro Max in 128GB yesterday. Immediately I noticed how stunning the device is and the build quality is exceptional. I instantly noticed the 120HZ refresh rate on the display. Not as noticeable like...

    Apple TV 4th Gen & HPM

    I’m having a hard time figuring out compatibility. Will an Apple TV 4th Gen (not 4K) be able to have a HomePod Mini had the default audio output? Ive updated both devices to 15.0, but the HMP does not show up as an option.

    Apple TV + HomePod Mini Stereo Pair - one one speaker working

    Maybe it’s just buggy but I’ve spent some frustrating time on it and have come up with nothing. First, I updated everything to xOS 15. I then paired my HomePod minis and AirPlay works fine to listen to music from my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. They all work great. Apple TV works great, too, when I...
