New Sonos Plugin

1. Just to confirm that this is expected behavior:

When I am listening to music on my Sonos speaker using the Emby Sonos plugin, if I select a song and attempt to "Add to Play Queue," the current song immediately stops and the song I was trying to queue up starts. Same thing happens with "Play next" (the song that's playing immediately stops and the desired "next" starts). Basically, with Emby+Sonos plugin, there is only a "present tense" (song that's playing) and no ability to affect what plays in the future (except by playlist). Is this expected?

2. Assuming that this is the (currently) expected behavior, I think I can guess why--no onboard memory on a Sonos speaker to store the queue and/or no good API on Sonos end to permit developers like Emby access to such queue control. Do you have anything like line-of-sight to a future world where "Play Next" and "Add to Play Queue" will work with the Sonos plugin?

Hi, no this is not expected behavior. We need to add queue management support into the plug-in. Thanks.

No, I didn't know that something else had to be installed, there is no documentation for this plugin...

Thanks for the feedback.

I've decided to stop self hosting and now have my emby setup remotely.  Does the sonos plugin not work for this type of setup?

@Luke ?

The server discovers the devices, so that means the Sonos devices need to be on the same local network as the server. At some point we'd like to move this to the apps so that it only needs to be on the same local network as the device you're playing from.

Any idea what PlexAmp uses that allows me to cast to my local network Sonos devices using a remote server?

 

I also found this for Navidrome, but I assume it could be used with Emby with some tweaking?

It's exactly what I said. They have the detection in the client side l apps rather than the server

I would like to endorse having Sonos support on the client side!  When I am visiting friends with Sonos systems, it would be great to share some of my collection - some of which can be obscure...  Can you name any Azerbaijanian jazz pianists?

Hi, I installed the Sonos plugin the other day but have yet to see Sonos appear as a casting option inside the emby app. The only way I can actually cast emby audio to Sonos is via iOS airplay, which I could do before installing the plugin.. I'm operating servers and Sonos all on the same local network. I've tried restarting emby server, rebooting Sonos port, etc. Nothing. What am I missing?

Sorry if this is a newbie question but... I have the Sonos  plugin installed and dlna turned on but it appears that the plugin is not picking up all of my speakers. I see some via dlna (red) and others through the plugin (yellow), I assume. Also I have some groups setup in Sonos app but they are not showing up in the list.  

 

[Anderella 13]

Sonos support on the client side really would be lovely! I'm on this too.

Any chance to get that supported in the near future?

Thank you.

the ones you have underlined in yellow are your groups and the lead speaker is shown.

[Spaceboy 2565]

tbh the sonos implementation in emby is pretty basic. i was looking at Music Assistant , a relatively new integration for Home Assistant the other day. there's a lot emby could take from it

Ok Thanks!

Another newbie question: is it possible to add to the groups and or devices that are currently playing. In other words if I start playing music on the office group and want to then add the bedroom , is that possible?

no, you can't manage groups in emby - only use those already set up in the sonos app
