Question

unable to play “song title” access is denied.

Hello,

I am playing music through the new Sonos app on my iPhone using the music add-on called “Anghami”. 
Everything was running perfectly until yesterday afternoon when I got: “unable to play XXX - access is denied”. 
I have uninstalled the Anghami add-on and linked it again with no success. 
Can you please advise?

Best,

Samer.

Hi @MAW, thanks for the update. I appreciate you taking the time to submit the diagnostic report. Upon checking on the diagnostic report that you’ve sent. I saw Audio dropouts and Audio Playback error on the Sonos products. I’ll ask you to do a power cycle on all the Sonos products and check if that will work.

Hi @Simon B 

1463523362 Is my diagnosis number. 
i am having a new error today: unable to play “song name” the connection to Anghami was lost. 

All my playlists, and almost all Anghami generated playlists, have disappeared from the Sonos app. The few that are still there are now working. Very strange. I think it’s the Anghami/Sonos interface. Not sure if this interface is at the speaker or over a Sonos server.

It is definitely an interconnectivity issue between Anghami and Sonos. I removed my Anghami account from Sonos and cannot added back!
