Sonos One and DLNA

Hi,

 

I read a lot about Sonos and DLNA and my question is why is not yet possible to play music from a DLNA server running on a NAS?

The Sonos app show the NAS and let me navigate through folders but when I try to play music says: Unable to add music to queue.

It makes no sense to me. Why should I use the obsolete samba protocol to share folders over my network while the DLNA protocol exists?

Sonos is almost perfect but this is a big disqualification.

My Samsung TV sees and play music from my NAS. Obviously I don’t want to play music on my TV and this is why I bought a Sonos speaker.

 

Regards

Max

Ah, yep, stops after a few secs and repeats when playing from TuneIn or BBC Sounds.  Sigh.  What has Sonos done now!? :(

 

No release notes yet for 13.1.1

FWIW, the current version is for iOS / MacOS 13.1.2. To the best of my knowledge, the only “fix” in that release is the crash when using the search function, but your guess is as good as mine. I don’t know any specifics about 13.1.1.

I wish that Sonos would understand how to better do releases, including doing release notes for every release, not just “major” feature notes.

I swear I was reading just the other day about some sort of change to the URI scheme for radio stations in Sonos, but can’t find it now.  Instead of http:// or https://, some other scheme is being used now.  No idea if it’s related, or if I’m just mis-remembering something, lol.

Which version of the bridge are you using?  Mine is 1.61.0

Testing this with the C5 app on my iPhone. Selecting “Office Sonos”, which is the virtual Sonos Play:1 stereo pair via LMS, I’m getting the issue. Selecting the master Play:1 via C5’s built in DLNA server, playing fine. So, something Sonos changed affected the LMS bridge plugin, as it hasn’t been updated in ages.

Interesting.  Mine is still showing version 1.0 on piCorePlayer LMS server, v 8.1.1.  Not sure how to update it to 1.61?

There is another plug-in to send the stream to Sonos:

UPnP/DLNA bridge (v1.61.0)  Use UPnP/DLNA players in LMS

Hmm.... Seems you are using the renderer plugin and not the upnp bridge plugin. 

What is puzzling is how a sonos software update (rather than a firmware update) has modified the upnp feature.
