well, sort of 😉 Just thought that I would share this with the community - I am running a sonos controller from my web browser under linux ! happy times

I just installed an extension called "arc welder" (https://developer.chrome.com/apps/getstarted_arc) into my chrome browser. Arc welder lets you run android apps in your chrome browser

and guess what ? the 5.3.1 apk of sonos controller for android works a treat

go forth, run your sonos controller under linux. at last.

All features of the android controller seem to work perfectly.

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

Still not working here. It's starting, has A LOT of load and only tackles down my whole Computer, but it won't find my system anymore.

Sonos: 29.5-90261-1-11.apk
Chrome: Version 43.0.2357.134 (64-bit)

Do you mind posting the exact version of the Sonos-App you are successfully using?

I am using Sonos_com.sonos.acr_5.3.1_28186172.apk. I extracted it from my tablet using APK Extractor.

Running the SONOS-App successfully on Linux Mint 17.2 now. 🙂

All right, while I was pretty excited earlier, this seems to be not as good as I thought.

Running the Sonos apk with the chrome extension maxed my Core i7 4790.
I was wondering why my fan is so loud and then saw that all 8 cores were running at 100%.

For those having problems, or a slightly simpler solution check out Sonos Controller for Chrome available from the webstore directly (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sonos-controller-for-chro/cojfokmeikpnickdpoopoockilamcmoc?hl=en-GB)

I have it running on Linux Mint 17.2/Chrome 48.0.2564.82

Source code also available https://github.com/pascalopitz/sonos-controller-for-chrome

Nice work Pascal Opitz!

I bold a sonos controller for Ubuntu phone, touch and desktop for release >= 15.10. The controller doesn't handle services like Spotify, deezer etc... It handles only radios and share music index. It is licensed under GPLv3
