I noticed this morning that Sonos had released a new update to the app but decided I would read through the release notes prior to installing since the last update burned us all. What I found truly amusing was that the provided this note when addressing local library connectivity -

Improved local library connectivity

Are we to imply that they “fixed” what they broke? Or are they simply trying to play semantics and not admit they screwed up?

They have been open in saying later versions of the App will restore/fix functionality that was missed of broken.

That is all well and good but I guess I will pass on installing the update since I don’t trust that after installing I will gain anything useful and run the risk of actually removing what functionality I do have.

Today’s new app update is perfectly safe. You’ll be forever on Unfixed Island if you don’t jump aboard the good ship Update, bound for the land of Almost As Good as S2 One Day...

Access to your library has more to do with the dropping of SMB v1 than anything else. If you haven't disabled SMB v1 on the share that your library is stored on, then Sonos isn’t going to see it no matter how many releases they put out.

That is your choice but we know the developers at Sonos are working hard to solve the issues.

“Fix this mess Sonos!!!! Fix it!!!”

“No way I’m loading a new update, I don’t trust Sonos to fix things!!”

Not sure what this means. But on my Android tablet I still don't have access to my NAS library (which I have on the desktop and old app).

I also don't see a way to browse the library (only links in favorites which aren't accessible).

After I lost access to my library I contacted Sonos support (after a 70+ minute wait on the phone). While the rep looked at the diagnostics I had submitted she basically said there was nothing that could be done until such time as Sonos released an update. She offered no solution to resolve the problem. I’m running version 16.2 on their S2 OS.
