Hello,

 

I was thinking that it could be great to have a Sonos Web App for control a Sonos System. It will allow to have a Desktop controller app compatible with all OS (Linux, Max, Windows, etc). 

 

And it would be an easy solution for people who cannot Install software, too.

 

Kind regards,

 

Ian

It is far from “easy”. A web browser cannot handle UPnP events, so the Sonos cloud API needs to be used instead, but that API is lame and missing critical features compared to the UPnP API.

You need to install/run a local server somehow to make using a web browser practical (eg Jishi’s node.js stuff).
