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

    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. 

    But there was a Sonos firmware update from 13.1 to Version: 13.1.1 (build 63289260) and that is when I noticed the problem streaming radio.

    Ah, I have LMS set to auto update. It wasn’t showing up, as it was updated and I hadn’t rebooted in months. Rebooted, and it’s now showing up.

    Ah!  Hadn't noticed that.   Wonder what changed?

    TuneIn radio stations working fine from LMS to my other DLNA/UPnP renderers.  I also fired up my old S1-only Connect, and updated its firmware.  Same issue.  It’s currently showing v 11.2.9.  Sonos S1 release notes only up to 11.2.6.  Sigh.

    It's not just TuneIn - all live radio links are knackered

     

    Pity you can't recall the url scheme change you mentioned

    Update:

    It seems the http protocol has changed.  However, live streams in flac format seem to work, eg Radio Paradise.

    Intrepid testers needed over at the other place!

     

    Update plugin 1.62.0 available for testing

    Plugin 1.62.0 looking good.  Tested with live mp3 streams.

    Testing good here, too.

    Sonos just up and changed their user-agent, without warning, with zero release notes.  Sigh. :disappointed:

    How is the updated user agent different from the one described at https://developer.sonos.com/build/content-service-get-started/soap-requests-and-responses/ ?

    No idea.  From the developer of the LMS-UPnP Plugin:

    > Looks like they have changed something on their HTTP handling. Can you try with HTTP mode back to chunk or no-length?

    > [edit]: indeed, they have changed their user-agent...
