As of this morning (after a usual short delay while it tries to recognize my system, and icons start populating over the course of a few minutes), I could finally see a shared library on my network… and I could direct music to speakers! Big win! Then this afternoon, I noticed another app update ready on the Android Play Store: 80.02.07-release+20240605…updated it with the hopes of continued improvement, but now the app will no longer recognize the network/devices. it launches with a big:
NO PRODUCTS FOUND
It just sits there… at least with the other version, sometimes it would take up to 10-15 seconds before it finally realized there’s speakers on the network. I’ve already tried uninstall/reinstall/clear cache/data… reboot router, etc. I’ve gone into system settings and try to find products. Nothing. Bluetooth is enabled, I’m standing right next to a Sonos speaker that is playing music. Nothing.
Then I noticed that the Windows Controller app (already at 16.2) had another update waiting. Updated that with the hopes that this would fix things with them both needing to be in sync. Nothing. This is now up to version 16.2 (S2) Build: 79153290
I can play/direct music to my speaker from the Windows controller app.. but the Android app is in complete shambles now. It has taken a huge step back.
