I then discovered the last time I downloaded the installer was quite a few updates ago. I downloaded current installers as soon as they fixed that (just in case!).

I just did the same, and downloaded the latest versions as a just in case…. I don’t use the desktop apps as much as a used to, but it was always good to know I could. 

Since I need to run a windows arm vm from time to time I know it should work that way. Or there’s always the older machines that are beyond the point of updating. 

Its too bad, that they likely wouldn’t open source the s1 stuff… then somebody else could compile it….

The app version is linked to the version of the firmware that is on the speakers. So using older computers will not help you for a long time.

You can't practically open source most commercial software as it uses proprietary libraries that you do not have a license to share. You could open the code you wrote but without the libraries it would be of little use.

Sonos does release the information needed to control the hardware and many folks have released programs to do so. Sounds like some of the AI assisted ones only took a few hours to develop.
