Alright, July 22 app update just dropped.

I took the risk of updating so you don’t have to 🙃🤣 So far so good, it opened on first try. Will update.

Is it working for you?

Samsung Android users are you back to a working app?

 

iOS release notes 

  • Added setup, configuration, and search for local Music Library
  • Improved account settings for Sonos Pro subscribers
  • Added line-in autoplay and compression settings
  • Improved accessibility in Settings
  • Improved notification for player firmware updates
  • Improved Sub audio settings with Amp

 

ETA THE GOOD :

  • local library search is working
  • Configuration and set up for local libraries is there but I’m not testing it as it’s working for me and I don’t want to tempt fate
  • Line in auto play seems to be working.
  • Sub audio has phase control and crossover frequency. I haven’t tested if they actually do anything but hopefully working as expected.

***Loading way quicker on my network, ~2.5 seconds after a force close for Recently played, sonos favourites etc to populate. (10 sonos devices).

Last used room controls at the bottom are available right away, ie can stop whats playing in a hurry if required. I think this is a good change.

 

Release notes not updated yet but will be posted here whenever they get around to it.

This one seems mostly for android.

Sonos rep post from Reddit 

snip 

Last week (Tuesday, July 16) we released a player update that does not contain any user facing changes. Nevertheless, please ensure that both your players are up to date, as well as the Sonos App itself. This can be done by checking for updates in the Sonos App (for player updates), and checking in the App Store or Google Play Store.

# A few notes about Local Music Library Functionality...

***Fixes for all of the following issues will be addressed in future updates. Appreciate your patience!***

* After adding/removing a share, there can be a delay during reindexing where it’s not clear that Music Library indexing is happening, and some leftover elements of a removed share can still show up during reindexing. Be patient - it is in fact, *still* indexing. 
* Music Library **Search** is not accessible in the controller without access to the Internet.
* Local Music Library will not work for alarms.

*^(Again, these are features and functionality that)* ***^(will be coming back in future updates...)***

**Additional things to consider specifically on Android:**

* The “More” menu, Play Now and Play Next options may fail with *"something went wrong"* for local library content. Local Music Library albums are also currently unable to be favorited. 
* When a new library share is added, it doesn't appear in the music library settings page. The share does appear if you dive into Music Library > Folders. It may appear if the share disappears after closing/reopening the app, but the share is successfully added.

**Things to consider specifically on iOS:**

* No album art of Albums in Sonos Favorites

It’s not lost on me that delivering Local Music Library functionality with these issues isn’t ideal. However, in the spirit of transparency, myself and the team want to be sure you understand the current state of Music Library functionality and that all of the above considerations **will** be fixed in future updates.

Also - please continue sharing your feedback and concerns. It’s because of your feedback that we’ve recently started to bring more and more information to our release notes - *anyone remember “bug fixes and improvements”?* It takes consistent and meaningful effort to change opinions and win back trust. It won’t happen overnight however I appreciate every comment and DM you’ve sent while we try to do just that.

app is still garbage, shame on Sonos for releasing an app that renders the system pretty much useless. If your goal was to piss everyone off and create more work than your tech support can handle, well then Congratulations, you  f#%kin nailed it!!!

Only a fix for library. 

Cannot add albums or songs to queue from music service now which I could before! Just make them a fav... which disappears into the blurred screen after 5 secs... as it has done for 10 weeks now!

Queue management is due back at the end of August.

App finds a sub and black beam... Where are they?

It would've been difficult to be worse than latest app

Roam dropped off the app mid song but Kept playing. Can control it in SonoPhone so appears to be an app problem.

Yeah, can't add from library but after an hour of the app just sitting open on phone suddenly the full menu allowing adding, playing next etc appeared for Amazon... thick cloud in NW England must be it... 🤪

The local library search isn’t working for me. I get a “Check service status” error. Also, is there any way to reindex my library? I added 3 albums last week, but can’t see them.

Thanks.
