Hello Wolfram,



Could you please Submit a Diagnostic and send me back the number via this tread? I will have a look at it.



Thanks.

Hello Pierre,



I did all the steps but still get the issue in Google Play Music. I submitted new diagnostic 4008649 after I got the error again and reconnected the speaker.

Could you please try to switch the SonosNET to channel 1 and send me a new diagnostic? I see high wireless interference on the Wohnzimmer.



Thanks

Hi Pierre,

Do you have the same issues when you try to play music directly contained in the Phone (PlayTo)? 

Also could you please try to connect your phone to the SonosNET directly as explained HERE and try to reproduce the same issue? 



Thanks.

Google Play Music (GPM) integration (which I use exclusively from within the Google Play Music Android app, ie. via the Cast/Connect To functionality) worked flawlessly and marvelously from when it first appeared until just a few weeks ago.



A few weeks ago I began to repeatedly get a similar error message to that described above. It occurred up-to-50% of the time whenever a new track tried to begin playing. The workaround was, from within the GPM app, to Disconnect from the Sonos device(s) and Connect(Cast) again. And to keep doing this each time the error occurred.



The error was so frequent that the GPM/Sonos combo became unusable and I pretty much stopped using GPM with Sonos. Having purchased my Sonos kit primarily to use with GPM, this was a little disappointing...



The manner in which the error occurred (and could be worked around) suggested to me there was an issue with either the Google Cast API itself or Sonos' use of the Cast API - if that's how the Sonos/GPM integration is implemented. Something was fairly consistently going wrong between the track selection at the Controller app and the Sonos Devices trying to act on that selection and serve up the selected track.



I'd stopped using the GPM/Sonos combo as a result, but trying things today I've yet to experience the error. So fingers crossed, the problem may have been fixed...



I'd changed absolutely nothing at my end to originally cause the problem, and I've changed nothing now the problem appears to have abated (hopefully!).



Thought I'd post so that the original poster knows they are (or were) not alone in experiencing this problem!



If the errors return, I'll look to post some diagnostics.

Oops! Spoke too soon...



GPM error message just now, when I attempt to play anything within the GPM app to a Sonos connected device:



"Music playback error.



Couldn't play the track that you requested."





Will look to post diagnostics next week when I have some time.

Back at home and just had this problem occur again, "Couldn't play the track that you requested.".



Diagnostics 4068713.

And again:



Diagnostics: 4068744

---

Another instance; in this example, I've simply clicked on the track repeat icon prior to the playing track finishing, and when it comes time to repeat the track I get, "Couldn't play the track that you requested.".



Diagnostics: 4068765



Fear not, I shall not keep posting DIagnostics for this bug every time it manifests, but the frequency with which I'm experiencing this problem should illustrate how unusable the GPM / Sonos integration has become. GPM integration was the sole reason I bought a slug of Sonos kit earlier this year, and it worked flawlessly for a while. Now, it's a shambles.



I've changed nothing at my end, so it's over to you folks. Are you on the case with this?



Thanks!

Did anyone ever figure out this problem? I just started getting the same problem. Things had been fine for a couple of years.
