Did a search for a Sonos + Linux but all threads were archived.
I want to add a +1 for Linux support.
I’m probably an idiot and missed something. I main Linux, and while my Sonos device shows up in Spotify in Linux it never connects, regardless of network (2.4 or 5).. I tried various 3rd party addons and could probably make it work, but why make it such a hassle for Linux users. In Windows the Sonos deivce works perfectly in Spotify as expected.
Love your product, the physical quality and the sound quality, but it’s annoying having to reboot into Windows to listen to music (especially when shitfaced). I would love to extend my Sonos speakers system. but the hassle just makes me ponder Bluetooth speakers instead.
By now, isn’t there enough Linux users to warrant Sonos integration? Again, maybe I missed something.

Thanks!.

Please take any issues over to the github page. I fear things will get lost over here.
Also, If you run into trouble and the app crashes, ctrl+R will reload the window.

I’m happy to help with reports and testing …. but I’d prefer not tto have to deal with github (just another badly organised website where you need a PhD to figure what goes where, why and when - this Sonos site is bad enough!). I’ll just roll back to an earlier beta, until it gets fixed at some point.
Cheers.
@castalla Ok, got ya. Well, keep posting them here, that’s better than me not finding out about issues.
Out of interest, do you have the same problem with the beta8?
If so, could you do me a favour and check for stack traces in the developer tools?
Finally, you could try to use the Developer Tools→Application→ local storage and remove the entry called “zone” and see if that helps?
Thanks again. Will try the beta 8 today and report back.

Mixed results … it finds the sonos system intermittently. Connects every other run (?)
How do I get ‘stack traces’?
Boost not displayed in beta8, but ...
Strange characters in playlist display:
Also, the main screen shows Line-in. My devices don’t have this, so is it possible to remove from the menu?

ctrl+shift+i should open the developer tools, alternatively there’s a menu option for that.
There you find a tab called console. Anything red in there is something that failed. If it has an Error in it, you’ll see where the error was generated and what might have lead to it. Looks similar to this.
All the following in RED

Excuse me but I got into a lot of trouble for using this forum as a support forum for my Sonos apps, and it was a lot less than this thread. Please take this level of discussion elsewhere.
@controlav Thanks for the heads up. Over to github it is. @castalla Sorry, won’t look at error reports etc here. Maybe also remove the lengthy state dump and stack trace comments as they clutter up the thread?
controlav, that sounds like a good idea, I’ll make new comments, requests and reports to the github project instead of here.

For folks not familiar with github.com it is really easy to use to submit issues or download software.
Look for a previous report of your issue and click it or click the New Issue button to start a new one.
Keeping the work over there is a really good idea as it will be less confusing for folks using the Official Sonos Apps and will make it easier for pascalopitz / pascalo to keep track of things.
I have created a simple sonos linux controller. It’s not meant to be player (like unoffical-sonos-controller-for-linux). But it might help you if you just want to skip a song or change the volume.
Also I only have 3 rooms and only sonos playbar for tv watching, which seems to be discontinued. Help with testing on the newer hardware would be great.
