To those who say to start a new conversation on the nest speaker section, there are others who reported the same issue there and were told to post here as it is a Google assistant issue

Reply to When I request Google Assistant to play Release Radar playlist it plays a track called release radar

Google Assistant•12/8/2021

I spent 2.5 hours on support with Spotify and agree that this issue seems to be tied to Google's ability to map your request to available playlist options. When I ask for my personal playlist I'll often get an album with a similar name even though I've asked using the "my" keyword and used the "playlist"keyword as well.

Google assistant had been working perfectly for many years and this recognition issue only started in November.

I'm having exactly the same problem with my Google home speakers and they started around the same time as yours. I spent 2 and a half hours talking to Spotify support and they were unable to do anything more, except that they pointed out that I should be able to specify I want to listen to a personal playlist by using the "my" keyword in a command. For example, "hey Google, play my acoustic 2021 playlist." Starting just a couple weeks ago, Google will always find some public playlist with a similar name now.

So far my only work around is to rename my favorite playlists to include my full name so they are highly unique. It does work but it is a terrible user experience.

Intermittent connection issues with Sony xav-ax5000

Android Auto•12/31/2019

My Android auto will work for a few days flawlessly then start running into connectivity issues. I'm convinced it's in the firmware or Android auto app. I have tried 4 different USB cables. I have a hard time believing that the USB cables are only good for 3 days.

Error message: "Unsupported USB device" from the head unit
Were you able to connect to Android Auto prior to the issue? Yes. If I uninstall the American auto app, clear cache and data from Google play services, it tends to reset and be fine again for a few days. Most recently I had to change the USB connection on my phone manually to be Android auto and then it started working again. It seems like all these issues came about after the December update to Android auto. Also, I can no longer manually open the auto app on my phone. There is no app in my pixel 2 xl app last even though it is installed.

Reply to [Update] Visual Indicators on Nest Cam, Dropcam and Nest Hello

Google Nest•8/16/2019

You got to be kidding me. I've been using my nest camera as a baby camera for a year and a half then this morning I wondered why every time when I checked on my child, she would start looking at the camera. It kills me to do it... But it's time to switch my nest camera out for a wyze cam.

The press release was a lie. It's June, I bought the wifi-lnk and a new controller just for this purpose and the functionality still isn't in the app. There are only settings for Alexa
