First of all: I am not a native speaker, so please excuse any strange or humble expression….

 

Some days ago an update to the MacOS Sonos controller app appeared. Guess what: Still no fix regarding “My own library” hosted on a local (Mac) server still using iTunes and not Apple music.

 

While → any ← network related app can connect via → any ← network protocol Sonos still refuses to add the music library (error 913, wrong password / user, stopping adding the library and else). Even network rendering from 3D apps and video compression still work flawless, not to mention several “smart home devices” that work like a charm, too.

 

I refuse to use a NAS because of being in need of that MacOS server hosted on an Intel Mac Mini.

None of the following (modified for security reasons) connection types works:

 

\\IP1.IP2.IP3.IP4\Media\iTunes

\\itunes-server.a.well.known.router.device\Media\iTunes

\\itunes-server\Media\iTunes

\\itunes-server.local\Media\iTunes

\\iTunes-Server._afpovertcp._tcp.local\Media\iTunes

\\itunes-serverethernet.a.well.known.router.device\Media\iTunes

 

//itunes-server.a.well.known.router.device/Mediathek/iTunes

//itunes-server/Media/iTunes

//itunes-server.local/Media/iTunes

//IP1.IP2.IP3.IP4/Media/iTunes

//iTunes-Server/iTunes-Media

//iTunes Server._afpovertcp._tcp.local/Media/iTunes/iTunes Media

 

Of course SMB does work within regular finder surroundings (though not sure which SMB version works under the hood of Sequoia). The server is NOT connected to the internet in any way, just to the local network.

I remember Sonos promising having a look into this with possible results within October this year. It is the last day of October. So, Sonos, when is the next declaration regarding this disastrous “issue” to be awaited by long-time Sonos users?

Christmas is standing round the corner and I am thinking about getting myself new audio streaming and network connected speakers as my Sonos system is resting in silence for months by now like a dead body in a coffin. And Sonos speakers are not as decorative as for example IKEA-stuff Sonos once dealt with, too…

 

Sorry, could not keep my fingers still anymore.

 

Have you called Sonos Support directly to discuss it?

It sounds to me like you may need to reset your library, following the instructions as explained in this thread,  but that’s just a guess. Calling in would confirm that, I’d think. And at the least, set you back on the correct path.

You haven’t noted what your native language is, and there is nothing on your forum account to indicate anything, but it’s likely that Sonos has a support phone in your language, if you click on the link I provided, you should be taken to the correct language’s contact page. 

So does this sound familiar…… 8 days ago my system worked as well as expected play my tunes through Spotify so all good everything working …. Then Mr Magoo at your factory decides to add a new update 8.1 00000000000000556565677788 whatever it is now and now here I am having connected my left and right Sonos SL’s then the SUB mini all I’ve got to do is add the beam and here we are, I connected the sub now NO left and right NOT IN THE SYSTEM I ADDED THEM TO 4 minutes ago. The sub needs speakers to work unison with sub (understandably) ALL I HAVE IN MY SYSTEM IS FKIN SUB MINI AND AN APP THATS FROZEN ON A PLAY LIST PLAYING RANDOM SONGS ON A SYSTEM ACCORDING TO YOUR APP THAT IS NOT THERE FFFFFSSSSSSFFFFSSSS HELLO EARTH CALLING SONOS FFS

Dude, chill.  If you added your “left and right Sonos SL’s” as a stereo pair, then you can’t add them as surrounds.  They need to be separated into two single speakers before you can add them to a soundbar.
