You can't use VLC to stream to Sonos. Assuming the music files are on the computer on which you installed VLC, why don't you simply get Sonos to index the files and play them directly in the usual way?

It's not the easiest thing but you can:

Install the Sonos software for your computer

In vlc:

Media > Stream > Choose the source (Usually a file)

Click on Stream

Next

New destination, pick HTTP then click add

For the new tab in path insert something that finishes with .mp3 like "/vlc.mp3"

Next

In profile pick mp3 or create your own (the default one is 128Kbps)

Next

Stream



Next we need to find your computer IP:

Press win + R

Type cmd

Enter

Type ipconfig

Enter

There should be something like

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.17



Now on the sonos software choose:

Manage > Add radio station

Streaming Url: http://192.168.1.17: 8080/vlc.mp3 (replace 192.168.1.17 by your IP)

Name it and play it

The sound should stream on your sonos



Now open another VLC window with the video and adjust it to the sound.
