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.

Line-In autoplay and autoplay volume seem to work as expected. 👍

Also autoplay to a specific room seems to work as well.

No “Something Went Wrong” errors yet for me. Still early but good sign.

Looks like I will have to wait longer to sell my speakers 😜

Thanks! The Manage function is not very prominently displayed in the upper right. I completely missed it.

Definitely some problems with Music Library. Was able to add it, index and play it yesterday. Today, it was gone and had to add it again, which took an age.

First time since the new app introduced that the app started without me having to force close, although volume still very slow to operate.  Am I right in thinking that all traffic from teh app has to go to sonos first before being routed to my sonos - no other explanation for the time lag???

I can’t even find how to supposedly reach my local music library - I have looked and looked and looked and clicked again and again on the top right hand “wheel” logo. I have gone through every option. No sign of anything relating to local music library. Unlike many, I am not great with technology, but neither am I stupid. It still doesn’t seem to be working.

I’d check you definitely have the latest version, then for the iOS app, if you click on the ‘wheel’ and then on the word Manage next to the name of your system, you should see a screen like this:

 

 

If you then click on Music Library it should give something akin to this with the option to add a shared folder.

Thanks Iain - yes, done all that as your screen shots show, except that all options are there except for “Music Library”. I took the Sonos app off my tablet and re-downloaded the supposed latest version, but to no avail. Maybe it just isn’t the latest version, for some reason.

  • Now the Music Library option is showing (it must have taken some time to show up) but now I have the usual path/sharename/password stuff that I had when trying to make a “dummy NAS” over the last two months.

Maybe try reinstalling the app.

Also, turn off your router, speakers, and phone. Turn on each and let then fully boot up/connect before moving on to the next device (router → speakers → phone). Then re-open the app.

I found that I had to go to the Apple App store to get the updated one. Trying to update in the app just kept telling me sytem was up to date. 🤔
