I guess I already know the answer - no. In fact I want to remove the 'Update Now' icon - I don't want an update and don't need to be reminded everytime I use the desktop app.

    castalla: You cannot remove the notification for a new update. In order to dismiss this notification, you need to update. If you do not want to receive updates (and in turn, the notifications) in the future, you would need to go to the More tab > Settings > System Updates and switch off Automatic Updates. This setting cannot be changed on the desktop controller.

    @pwt Any clues?
    BBC iPlayer / BBC Sounds audio programs on Sonos: Easiest option for Apple devices is Airplay to any Sonos speaker using AirConnect [1]. Works brilliantly and runs happily on a Raspberry Pi. Second option is 'get_iplayer' (Google it) to cache iPlayer programs temporarily as part of your local library. There are more sophisticated things one can do, but these work well for me.

    Hm ... no easier than upnp bridge and 'real' iplayer plugin. And I hate fiddling with those silly smartphones! Thanks, anyway.

    I use this stuff as much from my Macs as my iDevices. And, if you cache iPlayer content (or use one of the more sophisticated approaches i alluded to), there's no need for AirPlay.

    When I first started using Sonos and educated myself, I was impressed with the system design, sound quality, capabilities, and overall stability. There were three main things missing for me: AirPlay support, iPlayer support, and IR control for a couple of the devices. I quite quickly addressed all of these with 'hobbyist' -- but nevertheless reliable, easy-to-use and effective -- workarounds. (My wife happily uses all of this stuff without a clue how it works behind the scenes.) I also added a ton more automation using simple things like the Sonos HTTP API and cron jobs. So, in terms of how I use Sonos now, there are no real functional gaps.

    FWIW, I've never used LMS, and I couldn't care less about it. If I wanted to know more, I'd head over to its actual forum.

    I admire your approach!

    Maybe have a look at LMS - runs easily on Pi (I use a pi zero w) and Mac There's a much applauded mac app (iPeng) to use as a controller.

    Thanks again
