    i just want to play sound from youtube video on my google mini

    it's ridiculous that can't be done

    • Clear on 01/11/2018 - 17:08

      Google don't really like people using YouTube that way. It's one of the reasons why they started YouTube Red. Hopefully that'll include Google mini streaming some day if it doesn't already.

      • jjcf on 01/11/2018 - 17:13

        You can stream to a mini. It just sounds like trash.

        • Clear on 01/11/2018 - 17:16

          You can stream YouTube specifically?

          • AusAech on 01/11/2018 - 17:25

            @Clear: I don't think you can say "Okay Google, play dickbutt from YouTube" …

            But you could always stream your phone/laptop/pc audio to the mini then play your video from that device.

            • Clear on 01/11/2018 - 17:27

              @AusAech: That's what we're talking about - saying Ok Google play X from YouTube.

              You can easily stream from other sources and services like Spotify already.

            • gavincato on 02/11/2018 - 07:27

              @AusAech: You most def can say "hey google play x on youtube" and it will play the audio if you haven't configured a default video device for it in the home app. I do it in the bathroom all the time.

          • jjcf on 01/11/2018 - 21:56

            @Clear: I thought you were talking about YT Red, sorry :)

    • Diji1 on 01/11/2018 - 17:46

      mine will play music from youtube and stream video to the tv via chromecast so it is possible.

      Edit* I have googleplay music so youtube red as well, that might be why it works.

  • JaySu on 01/11/2018 - 17:11

    bought, thanks op

  • Make it so on 01/11/2018 - 17:11

    Pretty sure my Google Home plays songs from Youtube.

      I believe you need a subscription just to play music from youtube onto the home device. Its almost useless when the free subscription runs out and having to pay monthly just to listen to music from youtube is stupid.

  • bwatt72 on 01/11/2018 - 17:16

    Home hub and home max what's the difference obviously price but what do you get or what does max do that hub don't

    • Rumstein on 01/11/2018 - 17:22

      Hub has a tablet attached and is used to display things on a dashboard.

      Max is effectively a powerful speaker with google home built in.

    • fratzhaus on 01/11/2018 - 17:22

      One is a 7" tablet, and the other is a giant speaker. You can do the same thing on both, hub just has visuals, and a chromecast built in so you can stream to it like you would control a chromecast connected to a tv.

    • kerfuffle on 01/11/2018 - 17:26

      Max takes up more space and is basically a HiFi replacement. Hub is smaller, has a screen and is basically a Google Home but with a screen

      • scuderiarmani on 01/11/2018 - 17:33

        Woah hold it right there…. hi-fi replacement?!?!?!

        • Diji1 on 01/11/2018 - 17:47

          You don't play your high fidelity music on a home assistant?

        • noicegarry on 01/11/2018 - 17:59
          +6

          Not gonna lie, paying $470 for a Home max was a dumb decision from me, but god is the audio good.

          • scuderiarmani on 01/11/2018 - 18:45

            @noicegarry: Compared to the the normal size, yeah. Compared to Hi-fi speakers….uh no.

            • noicegarry on 01/11/2018 - 19:41

              @scuderiarmani: Yes I can agree on that, although not far off, you're paying premium for the simplicity of it being an all-in-one package.
              No stuffing around with chrome casting or bluetoothing your audio, not to mention synced control over your google ecosystem (If you're in it).

            • L0zBargain on 02/11/2018 - 14:10

              @scuderiarmani: That bad huh? Can you return your Max?

        • harro112 on 01/11/2018 - 19:44

          i haven't heard one but it's generally agreed the max has seriously good sound. i'd imagine in a smallish room it probably could be a replacement for a non-audiophile hifi system.

          • gavincato on 02/11/2018 - 07:30
            +3

            @harro112: we have 2 of the max. one in the kitchen, one in gym. it's surprisingly good to the point where I don't bother turning on my main hi fi setup (paradigm studio 100's) unless I want largish volume.

  • Averell on 01/11/2018 - 17:18

    I want an above average speaker which I can:
    - cast audio from my android phones to it
    - play audio part of the Netflix movies that my ChromeCast is playing on my TV.

    What should be the best option for me? (the smart feature of GG Home / Amazon Alexa seems not quite important to me).
    Thanks!

    • Rumstein on 01/11/2018 - 17:24

      Get a good speaker and plug Chromecast Audio into it.

      https://www.jbhifi.com.au/google/google-chromecast-audio/937…

      I don't think you can cast audio to a different device from video, but you should be able to hook a good speaker to the TV & cast to TV, or cast just to the speaker (or even just cast music to the tv works as well).

      • Averell on 01/11/2018 - 18:03

        Is that possible to hook audio from TV to a speaker like Google Home or Amazon Echo or Sonos One?
        I heard of some HDMI standard which supports sending audio to speakers and video to TV. However, could not recall that.

      • Averell on 01/11/2018 - 18:13

        https://www.lifewire.com/audio-return-channel-1846845 <<< something like this one (HDMI ARC)

        • particle on 01/11/2018 - 20:55

          I think all modern TVs support what you're after - eg. a bluray sound system / receiver connected to HDMI ARC, and Chromecast connected to HDMI. That way all TV audio (including casted movies and music) will play on your external sound system with the better speakers.

    • scuderiarmani on 01/11/2018 - 17:34

      Budget?

      • Averell on 01/11/2018 - 18:04

        is something like $300 enough?

      Sony Soundbar with NFC+Bluetooth. I'm not sure what model mine is, but I use it the same way you described… For TV, and bluetoothing stuff from my phone/laptop. Cost was under $300

        It can bounce inaudible frequencies around the room and map the room via sonar and it's mics ^_^

  • westzod on 01/11/2018 - 17:23

    I'm keen on the Hub but I feel like I could find a better price sooner like how Google Home went after its release. Pretty good deal for "new tech" though.

    • Rumstein on 01/11/2018 - 17:26

      Yeah, I think wait till Christmas/New Year on this one.

      Or even Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales in Nov.

    • Vietsoldier on 01/11/2018 - 19:24

    • mrhatken on 01/11/2018 - 17:43

      Do you have a modern phone? It's the Wild West, for sure, but it's a lot of fun to be a the (b)leading edge.

      • [Deactivated] on 01/11/2018 - 17:54

        Think the difference is that you can lock down a phone to not be constantly listening to you, where as the entire functionality of Google Home is based on it constantly listening to you… isn't it? Haven't/wouldn't use anything with this level of privacy intrusion, based on my understanding.

    • dazweeja on 01/11/2018 - 17:45
      +2

      Some people have different tolerances for privacy. You could always run a packet sniffer if you think it's sending off information that it shouldn't. But all the information that Google does legitimately collect from you can be viewed and deleted with their tools.

    • Diji1 on 01/11/2018 - 17:54

      I just look at it a device that changes the user's behavior so they lose money. I'm not into losing money unconsciously.

      Of course many people irrationally believe marketing doesn't effect them and that every decision they make is rational despite billions of dollars worth of studies saying otherwise. So in that case, yeah, seems great.

    • musicinbed69 on 01/11/2018 - 18:31

      Yeah, besides all of the creep, it's a poorly secured product, already has vulnerabilities they're trying to keep quiet about: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/9svup4/jerry_gambl…

        Did you even read the article? It's an API you can access from the local network.

        Wow you can reboot the device from another device on the same network using a feature Google implemented purposely. What a security flaw /s

  • Deviner on 01/11/2018 - 17:43

    I was dead set on getting this and then looked into some of the alternatives (staying on the Google ecosystem) because I'm thinking the Home Hub might be a tiny bit too small.

    It looks really stylish but the screen is pretty small - although, that may suit people if they don't want a big screen attracting attention.
    When compared to the alternatives, the Lenovo Smart Display and JBL Link, it's meant to be like going from a phone to a tablet in size.

    Neither of the latter look as nice as the Hub in my opinion (especially the JBL which looks a bit gawdy to me) but definitely some food for thought.

    Although, they're way more expensive than the Hub, they're meant to have much better sound and obviously a bigger screen (the JBL is meant to be glossy and has great viewing angles).

    If only they made the Home Hub in a 9" or 10" version as well.

    There'll no doubt be a Home Hub Max in 6 months! :/

    • whatisk on 01/11/2018 - 21:17

      The home hub is a good size for the bedroom. Probably a little small for kitchen if you want to watch recipe videos on it or similar.
