Airsonic / Subsonic / Bonob support

Hello,I am asking since the release and I am not getting a reply. With the new software update “In house”  local music services like Airsonic/Subsonic or Bonob do not work anymore.Can I get a reply from a Sonos dev regarding these questions :Will it be supported again ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/174 Will the search function work on these services ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/163 Will you give the possibility to add a custom image on the service instead of a dotted square ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/174 Bumpitybump.I was forced to update my speakers and factory reset them, and now I can’t add services on the Android 16.1 app and Bonob does not exist on version 80.Can I get a developer to answer these three questions PLEASE or are you basically forcing me to sell my Sonos stereo system ?Is there anyone at Sonos reading this except the censors in the name of the “Code of Conduct” ?Moderator edit: Combined posts

iOS Hardware Volume Control

Feature request:Bring back ability to control volume with iOS (iPhone, iPad) physical volume buttons.The removal of it is exceedingly aggravating.  The work around sucks. I will own 11 Sonos devices.  But I will buy no more as long as it works this way.  This situation is so poorly communicated and badly implemented that I am gone as a customer until you resolve this.

Mixcloud

I know there are longer threads about the new app, but as this is a specific issue relating to Mixcloud I thought I would create a new topicSince the update the only feature that works in the Mixcloud service is ‘favourites’. None of the ‘following’, ‘followers’, ‘uploads’, ‘stream’ etc have any content (despite all of them being populated in my separate Mixcloud app) . These are critical parts of the service, which allows me to search for music and which were present in the previous version. I have tried removing the service, then re-adding it, but to no avail. Is anyone else having any issues?

Can't disable wifi on new app

On the new app, if you try to disable wifi on a wired device, such as an Arc or Sub, it will hang, crash, and then it may even say it's disabled. But then the device reboots and its back to enabled. When you do it from the old app, it properly disables the wifi. This is easily reproduced 100% of the time. Please do not respond with why you think wifi should be on - my entire system is wired and works perfectly wired. Anytime I add a new device, I have to dig up an old iPad with the old app on it to disable the wifi because the new app does not work.  Also, why doesn’t the Mac app or website have the features to disable wifi or add components?

Why are you so user UNFRIENDLY

I changed my router so I had to setup my speakers again.You force me to download your mobile app.You force me to update my speakers (Play1) for some reason (why do wireless speakers NEED updates to work?)Your force me to download you “Controller S2” app on my PC, because for some reason, the Controller S1 is no longer compatible WITH THE SAME SYSTEM I HAD FOR YEARS?!You say it will “update” my controller and transfer my previous settings. It did not update, I had to manually install your new S2 Controller.It did not transfer anything - all my playlists are GONE.I spent 20 minutes to setup the system I already had, you forced me to download a bunch of bullcrap I did not ask for and did not need claiming it was necessary AND you did not even transfer my playlists? Everything is just gone?And no doubt you guys will keep churning out new updates that I am FORCED to download because the speakers will just stop working altogether for some reason, even though the updates change absolutely not

Why are they not supporting Apple Music in the web app at all now?

It’s so annoying that they have removed Apple Music from the web app. Any reason? Licensing costs?

new app has broken sonos system. i want a refund

I can no longer control the music selection or volume on my Sonos equipment. Due to the new app it is dysfunctional. If you will not roll back to the old app then we will collectively need to seek a refund on your equipment as it has been mis-sold.

Tunein and My tuner radio workaround

Hi I have came up with a workaround  for the issue with international radio station streams not playing in the UK. Here is the solution not ideal but it works. If you have a ROAM or ERA 300 speaker connected to your system you can use your phone to open up the Web app for my tuner radio find the station you want then connect your phone via Bluetooth to one of the above speakers and group with any other sonos speaker in your system. As I said not great but I have my radio stations  back on sonos.

LG Magic Remote

I’ve had my LG OLED 65” TV and playbar for a few years.   Our dog ate the Magic LG remote.  Ordered a new one and can’t get the Playbar to control the TV volume.   Sat on the phone over an hr with Sonos technical support and they can’t figure it out.   We changed manufactures to Sonos, Bose, Phillips, Samsung  and none of them will control the volume while watching TV….   If I turn the TV off and open the Sonos app to listen to music, I can control the playbar with the Magic remote.   This makes no sense to me!!  I spent a few hrs messing with this, watching Youtube and reading forums and can’t figure it out.   Reset the playbar to factory setting and still nothing.  You would think in 2024 electronics would sync better!!

Issues with Tidal

Tidal on the new app. Cover art is missing from the playlists and you’re not able to add anything to the Sonos Favorites. Is this going to be addressed?

Listen to local NPR Station without paying for TuneIn

I used to listen to my local NPR station on Sonos using TuneIn. However, now it seems I have to pay for a premium subscription to TuneIn in order to do so. Do you have any suggestions for alternative ways I can listen to my local NPR station on Sonos without using TuneIn?Thank you.
