web controller for sonos !! runs on linux ..

It does not work for me - I already fail when selecting the APK file within ARC Welder. There is a spinning wheel, but nothing happens after that, the wheel just keeps on spinning. I tried it with 5.3.1. and 5.4.

Sonos would be better off to make a web based controller that solely relies on message exchange then adding another OS. Don't get me wrong, I am using Linux myself in different flavors (Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, and Suse but in the end none of those are used in production.

They already have a Windows controller - and it used to work with wine until version 3.7, which would be fine for all the Linux users. I suspect the resources to get it going with wine again would be reasonable, or they could offer the windows controller in version 3.6. (one which does not complain it is not up-to-date anymore), because almost everything would probably work. These would be easy fixes. They also have a Mac OS version of the controller which maybe could be adapted.

Even better would be something like a java-based controller for the different platforms. A web based controller does not seem ideal in my opinion - you already need a working setup for that, and I think it would generally be more limited. But opening up their API and inciting some integration in other products would be great too.

Thanks,good way to test apps! I have it working on a acer aspire one with ubuntu 14.04 lts.. With google-chrome and the APK-Downloader extension it is even more easy to setup. For APK-Downloader (2.0.11 + oid) you must own an android device on which you have access to google-play and the right device-id app. After installing the extension you enter a valid device-id and you can access google play store using a browser on your linux or freebsd device. In google-play site next to the button for installing app you will discover a new button "Download APK". .
But i did test this and i'm not happy with the slow response on mouseclicks etc. So i prefer running the sonos windows application using wine. Which is much faster. Also every time you use ARC Welder for some other app, chrome forgets all settings and you have to setup sonos-controller again.

Ok, i partly agree but the way i see this is that android is proprietary os that is adapted from and making use of many open source unix, gnu, linux and bsd developing efforts.
There are many many unix, bsd and linux systems that are used in production environments today from which you are also depending. I dare to say that there would be no Internet without.
Sonos wants to protect their development but i think they earned it back at this time  by long and they wil be overtaken by the competition if they do not see linux is a market. Just put the sources plus a precompiled binary of their own in a repo and let people using / install it on Linux. Piece of cake.

I think the Linux Community should react to this. It could be interesting to hack and block sonos service asking for justice.

I cannot make the windows app under wine working. On some forums people say is no longer possible and it was working with older version of the app (no longer accepted by the sonos system).
Do you have any suggestion?

Yay! Running the latest Sonos app for Android in Arc Welder on Chrome 44 on Ubuntu 15.04 now!

Yay... I also got it working, kind of, under google chrome. nacl_helper makes huge cpu load. Is that what to expect or might I have an issue that has a resolution? This is on a Fedora 22, x86_64 system (with Intel(R) Core(M)2 Duo CPU     T9600  @ 2.80GHz, so not the latest or greatest).
