I'd like to use the sonos speaker to play sound from Netflix streaming movies and tv. How do I do that?

Hello,

Some of our Sonos players (PLAY:5, CONNECT, CONNECT:AMP) have a Line-In cable which you could use to send Audio from an external source, such as your computer or TV. That Line-In can be played to any combination of Sonos components as well. But you can't directly stream web browser or movie streams wirelessly to Sonos through our software. 

If you're looking for a speaker for your TV though, the PLAYBAR is specifically designed to hook up to a TV with the optical connection. You can pair a PLAYBAR with two PLAY:1s or two PLAY:3 units for surround sound, and even put a SUB with it to really fill the room out.

Cheers.

Will this ever be an option? I'd love to watch a show while running on the treadmill but have the sound come out of my sonos because it's a lot louder than an ihome and sounds better

I would like to be able to do this too

What Sonos devices do you have.  What hardware is it you want to play music from (your TV, computer?)

You should be able to do this with a smart tv (internet enabled). I don't have one, but what I've rigged is similar as I I run my a cheap netbook pc through my standard digital tv (using windows media centre as the tv interface, and the internet browser to play netflix). I use an HDMI cable to link the pc to the tv for the picture, and then use the line-in function on the back of my SONOS AMP to pull the computer sound into my SONOS system. i can then listen to the tv/netflix through any speaker in the house (sometimes if I need to go to the kitchen, during a football match, to grab another beer, I can pipe the sound through there and still listen so I don't miss anything).

Hi I have a Connect with the output from my PC and then just use the TV as the monitor. I have noticed a slight delay in sound though recently.

wow, if i can't stream netflix movie sounds through wifi to the sonos speakers they are kind of useless to me. why is it that hard for sonos to make this possible? it doesn't seem like it should be that big of a deal.

I agree I bought the play 1 to listen to the audio from netflix in the bathroom since my iPad isn't loud enough to hear over the bathroom fan. I find it hard to believe a $10 blue tooth speaker is capable of something this is not.

Thanks for the terrific comparison. My $1000 B&W bookshelf speakers won't play Bluetooth either. I need to call and give them a piece of my mind for not doing something they were not intended to do.

Wow, thanks for the condescending scarctic response. Did your $1000 bookshelf speakers boast that they are a complete wireless house house hold media streaming solution? Go pick fights in the comments of YouTube videos, troll. Since there are ~ 8,000 posts related to this topic, I don't think we are crazy for expecting this to be something the sonos devices are capable of.
