SVC not playing radio station added to My Sonos (new Era 100)

I added a local station off Tunein (107.9, K-wave) to My Sonos. If i say HS play 107.9 or play K-wave it always defaults to playing some other station from Tunein with 107.9 or K-wave. Want to set this up for the wife so she has the ability to call this up.

Also, I added a complication album from my Plex library to My Sonos and when I call it up the response ends up playing either Pandora or Apple Music.

Please help.

Some services like Tune-In and Plex are not currently supported by SVC. The current services listed as available are…

Sonos Radio
Apple Music
Pandora
Amazon music
Deezer

You can set one of the above in the Controller App as the default service.

Ken, thanks for the reply. This is a bummer.

Ken, thanks for the reply. This is a bummer.

Sonos have said that more services will be added further down the development read …and just to say if you add a playlist to ‘My Sonos’ from local sources (Plex/local library etc.) then SVC will play that playlist, but note it can take up to 24 hours, or so before the playlist becomes actionable by SVC.

Ken, it’s almost been 24 hours since I added some Plex (last night). But so far not happening.

Is that saved as a Sonos playlist? It should work if that’s the case, but as mentioned it can take upto 24 hours to become registered and working with SVC. The playlists I’ve saved in the past are working here for me but I just added a mix of tracks from my local NAS library and various online services.

Ken, screenshot of My Sonos. The singers is a Plex compilation album I put together. SVC won’t play if I call out ‘The Singers’ it always defaults to Apple Music and plays some such music with ‘the singers’ in it. Since I’ve been collecting for decades and digitizing music I have collections that simply don’t exist on streaming services. Would really be nice to access vis SVC. Any idea when or if ever Sonos will address Plex? Tunein? I can do some Tunein with Siri but would rather not.

It needs to be a ‘playlist’ that you save to your ‘My Sonos’ tab - what your screenshot shows is an ‘Album’ - at the moment only the Sonos playlists are available to SVC from your locally held sources.

I added my candidate album on Plex to Sonos Playlist, it’s been well beyond 24 hours and SVC still won’t play ‘The Singers’. In fact I added a total of 3 plex albums/artist an no go. I added an Apple Music playlist I created and SVC WILL play it. SVC not playing a Sonos Playlist Plex source.

This is a disappointment. I don’t plan to keep Apple Music in he long term. Preferred is my own library.

How motivated is Sonos in adding SVC to handle Plex?

@Eug7,
Maybe try going via an SMB or http shared library instead and see if that works for you when saved as a Sonos playlist. I have that working here with SVC. See below support links:
