Hi 
In the last week or so, Plex has stopped working in Sonos. You can see all the library items but the songs won’t play. I have done everything, including overhauling my network and doing a clean install of Plex on my QNAP NAS. I have spent days trying to troubleshoot this issue but so far, nothing. So I am wondering if anyone else might be having this issue, and has it been caused by a firmware update either on Plex side or Sonos? I have reached the point where I'm going to either have to ditch Plex or Sonos so that i can enjoy listening to my music without the hassle. I would really appreciate any advice that someone here might have. Thanks Jay

Triple check that remote access to plex is enabled and working, if you haven’t done so already.

Just checked mine and it plays ok. My plex software is Version 4.157.0 

It searches my plex files via the search bar or by pressing on the plex icon on the my services bar  

I have struggled recently to play some (large) playlists but found if I used the windows plex app to start the playlist it then worked fine on the app so maybe give that a shout.
