On android phone, remove sub mini and the music library works. Add the sub mini back in and no music library.

Why oh why.

Hi @Yorkyuser

Sorry - scratch that. There is no need for a diagnostic to be sent.

We are aware of an issue preventing Playbars from accessing Music Library when they have a Sub bonded, and we are investigating. I have no estimate for when a fix might be put in place, but I will update this thread when I hear of one.

I hope this helps.

That’s a weird one. Are both the Sub and whatever your bonding it to both on the same firmware? Should be 16.5 (build 82.2-59204).

@Yorkyuser,

Just a suggestion…

Have you tried removing the local library from the unbonded PlayBar and then bonding the Sub to the PlayBar first and then adding the library-path/user-credentials afterwards?

Nope, will try though.

Even though Sonos support say there is a problem with th emusic libarary on android. Always works on my windows laptop, but that is not a convenient way to control my music

Are you sure you’re not using an old HTTP library share as mentioned in the attached (put out by Sonos in their App last April)?

HTTP shares are no longer supported by the Sonos ‘mobile’ Apps - you need to use an SMBv2 (or higher) sharing protocol for the library to be accessible via the new App.

@Yorkyuser,

I would suggest/recommend to add the local library back to the setup using the Sonos mobile App only, rather than the desktop App, although the third ‘NAS’ library option can be used too in the desktop App, but definitely don’t use the first two "add a library" options as they’re HTTP and no longer supported in the new mobile Sonos App.

Thanks for all your suggestions, but I have been through these with Sonos support before and got nowhere.

Yes my music is on NAS smbv2.

After I add the library path, username and pasword, the app spends it’s time adding new content. When it’s finsihed, the library pathname is shown (so the app has recognised the path and added it), but I don’t see it on the main screen under ‘Your Sources’. Remove the Sub Mini and it appears !!

Hi @Yorkyuser

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Sorry to hear of this issue you are having with accessing your Music Library on a Playbar when a Sub Mini is bonded to it.

Could you please recreate the issue and submit a support diagnostic immediately afterwards? Thanks. Please let me know here when you have done so, but please don’t share the number given. Thanks.
