Casting from Plex app

Hi all. Having a few issue trying to casting to work from the Plex apps.  I can play my plex library directly from the sonos app so think my plex media server is set up correctly. However, when I try and cast from the plex/plexamp app sonos gives an error:The leading numbers are the internal ip of the NAS running the plex server and the last number is the port. Same song plays fine from sonos app. Not sure if the issue is on sonos side, plex side or something with my network... Diagnostic from just after the screenshot 2007402986, hoping might pinpoint where the issue is...Attempting to troubleshoot, I switched from a sonosnet setup (with playbase connected to router via ethernet) to Wi-fi following a suggestion on the Plex forum. Didn't help so I switched back.  Now I'm not sure if everything is as it should be. All players, other than my Move, are WM0 which is good, however, my router is showing my playbase as connected via Wi-Fi, not ethernet.  So I tried disabling the playbase Wi-F

Spotify will not connect

Hello.I’ve been using Sonos one since 6 months or so, and just recently the connected Spotify have been acting weird.At the moment I can’t play music that I’ve connected through Spotify on to my Sonos.Some tracks are playing for a few seconds, then switches to another one, and another one.Some tracks Sonos just skips.If I access the tracks via Spotify it’s working, but as soon as I connect my Iphone 11 PRO Max it continues at the same way than before.Anyone having the same problem?

Anyone experiencing Pandora issues since the last update?

Been using Pandora for two years without problem. After the last Sonos update the system keeps skipping songs, stops randomly and gives me messages stating that it lost connection to Pandora, or that there is not enough network bandwidth or that it can’t find the Sonos system. Nothing else changed in my system, all other wireless devices work fine and I can stream 4K Tv without problems ??? What gives ???

Stream interrupts after exactly 22 min

When streaming podcasts (doesn’t matter which podcast) through my different Sonos devices, they always interrupt after 22 min and jumps to the previous podcast episode. It is extremely irritating and I have no clue what causes it. I have restarted my router, updated firmware on the router, restarted all Sonos devices, updated the app etc. but nothing helps. Any ideas out there?

iPad S1 v11.2.3 will not find system.

Since updating my iPad to the latest v11.2.3 of the S1 app, the app no longer finds my Sonos system - Sonos bridge and gen 1 play 5s My iPhone running v11.2.2 of the app works fine, so the Sonos system is working fine. Initially the app did not find the system soI uninstalled and reinstalled the app. With the latest app freshly installed on the iPad .. it does not find the existing system … nor, when signing in can I “create a new system” when trying to “pair” it with either the bridge or a speaker directly. The app does not let me progress beyond either of those steps.  I have rebooted the bridge also. Any ideas as to how I can get this iPad S1 app working again would be appreciated.

Amazon Prime Premium music will not play as of morning of 11/25/2020.

I have re-authorized Amazon Prime music on the Sonos app on my iPhone X multiple times this morning, and when attempting to play any station or playlist the following message pops-up on my iPhone screen for about 2 seconds and then disappears:“Requested operation failed. Please try again.” I cannot get anything to play from Amazon Prime Music through the Sonos app this morning. I have used this for 2+ years with Amazon Prime Music without any problems.  I can access Amazon Prime Music directly through the Amazon Prime Music app on my phone, but through Sonos nothing will play.

Amazon Music Issue - No music will play - "Requested operation failed. Please try again."

I tried opening up Sonos to play music from my Amazon Music Unlimited account today, but nothing will play.  I can see most of the music, including Amazon playlists, my artists, etc, but it won’t show my playlists or play any music, giving the “Requested operation failed.  Please try again.”  The music is playing on my phone through the Amazon Music app and I can play music via other sources, such as Pandora, through the Sonos app with no issues.  I have submitted a diagnostic report - 2135087960

Spotify / Sonos - account locked out user

Had a Sonos One for a couple of years now, no issue. Partner registered the Sonos and used a mix of the Sonos App and the Spotify App to play through the speaker, while I just played direct through the Spotify app. Since the changes to the Sonos account registration thing my partner managed to reconnect to Sonos but now I can only ‘see’ the Sonos from Spotify when my partner’s phone is in the house (???), and if I turn on the speaker when he isn’t home his music or podcasts start playing through it! Even if he’s not actively listening to anything!!! The only suggestions to fix seem to be that a) my partner can add my Spotify account to his Sonos app - involving me logging in with my account details on his app, or alternately him logging in on my phone to the sonos app. I don’t seem to be able to log into the sonos app at all if I connect to our speaker because I’m not the ‘registered user’ Surely sonos don’t support password sharing? Is that really the only way?Literally all I want to

Why does my entire system show as WM:0?

Hello.  Thanks in large part to the support from these forums my system has been working just fine since I installed it and worked out the kinks.  That’s about 1.7 years.  Today one of my sub-woofers just randomly started dropping out.   I’ve long ago assigned IP addresses to everything in the network so it’s not that.  I decided to look at the “about my system.”In my set-up, I have around 19 speakers with many (not all) of the devices connected by ethernet.  Some speakers are paired as part of a left/right stereo speaker and some are paired with a sub-woofer. Every speaker in my system shows as WM:0.  I don’t have any WM:1 or WM:2.   I don’t understand that?  If one of the speakers is not connected by ethernet, should that be WM:1?  Or do I misunderstand how that works?In my case, the Kitchen Amp may be connected by ethernet but the sub-woofer is not, so I’m not sure if that’s WM1, 2 or 3.  I’ve attached my Network Matrix just in case anyone needs to see that. I’d like to make sure th

Requested Operation Failed. Please try again.

I have had intermittent problems with my Sonos system in the 4+ years I’ve had speakers, but a re-boot has always seemed to solve the issue.  However, when I tried to listen to Amazon Music today it simply won’t work, no matter what I’ve tried.  Re-booted, tried removing Amazon Music then adding again.  Other services (Pandora) seem to be working fine.  Please help!

YouTube Music showing as unavailable.

I've been having an issue with YouTube Music (YTM) for a while now. Ever since about 5-6 weeks ago, I've been unable to access YTM directly through the Sonos app or tell my Golgle Assistant devices (phone, tablet, Nest Home Hub Max, Sonos One) to play YTM on my Sonos speakers. It works fine on my Assidtsmt devices, even my JBL speakers. Just not Sonos. I've tried using the Somos app on my Android devices, iPhone, and PC program. It's always showing as unavailable. My Sonos speakers and app are fully updated, YTM has been removed from Sonos and added multiple times, I tried resetting my entire Sonos setup... Other people aren't having issues. What is going on with YTM and my Sonos speakers? I tried giving it some time thinking it was a glitch that would eventually be fixed. I know there's things going on but it's been more than a month.   I've contacted both Sonos and Google support but haven't heard back, that was a couple of weeks ago.

Amazon Music Unlimited now HD now many not all encoded incorrectly??

Two One(Gen 1)’s wired ethernet in bedroom.  Amazon Music Unlimited.  My Music custom playlists of Amazon songs built/played over past few years using iPhone 7/8/11 with their latest iOS and Sonos (S1) worked great. Yesterday, upgraded to Amazon Music HD.  Now most custom playlist songs get “The Song …. is unable to play - not encoded correctly, odd songs do, e.g. : yes . Keith Urban / Greatest Hits / Stupid Boy not. Tim McGraw / Damn Country Music / Humble and Kind True for most songs on several custom playlists I tried.  On all Amazon Playlists I saved straight (no custom) to My Sonos every song worked! Fixes tried : in Amazon Music app settings set quality to “standard”. in S1 app re-authorized Amazon service. installed S2 app. reauthorize Amazon service. searched community. I’m really stuck, didn’t want to call just yet and am hoping for a fix.

I ripped a new album, updated all the metadata by hand (as EAC didn’t find it. Now oddly I can’t find it when I search under Album in My Music nor if I scroll through albums. But if I search for artists I do find it. The album title seems to be correct and the songs are all there and they play but it doesn’t turn uo under search. Any thought please?

Unable to play SONOS radio station in Android app or Windows 10

Hi, I have a recurring (sometimes it happens, sometimes not) when trying to play my SONOS radio station in the android app or windows 10 app. I get the error message “unable to play the Radio station" while at the same time all other applications using internet work and I am still able to stream Spotify Music to my Sonos system. Rebooting router, phone or laptop does not resolve the issue.As it happens simultaneously at my phone and laptop while other streaming services still work, I'm quite sure the problem is on SONOS-side. Also, when I start the same radio station from Tune-In music service in the SONOS-app, it works! So the problem seems the be with the SONOS Radio Stations only….Somebody has any idea/ suggestions how to fix it?PS: I sent diagnostic report 499739099 to SONOS. Thanks,Marc
