I have a number of playlists created in Plex. Most I can play with Sonos, but the ALL MUSIC one throws an unable to add playlist error, as does a large music one I created

Plex via Sonos unable to add some Playlists

The playlists mentioned are perhaps hitting some kind of limitation. In Sonos usually, if a playlist cannot be loaded to a room queue within 15 seconds, it will time out.
I’m not too sure if there are any separate Plex limitations with their service in the Sonos App, but maybe make a backup of the large playlist and then reduce the amount of tracks in the original version and see if it will then eventually load to a Sonos device queue at/near a particular number of tracks to give you some indication of where to perhaps limit the size of your Plex playlists for Sonos, going forward.

It’s rare I use more than 500 tracks in any playlist anyway personally speaking - plus it’s quick/easy to add plenty more playlists to the existing room queue. I can load the files locally too from the NAS and in that circumstance, I have no issues loading 25,697 tracks which is every track I possess at the moment, but loads fairly quickly across the LAN and well within the 15 second time-out period.

I want it to random play from all my music
+24Sonos do not recommend lists from music services contain more than 500 items.

Good for them. I don’t recommend they don’t support them if they want people to buy their products
