I don’t have AppleTV, so I’m trying to understand what other AirPlay devices might be conflicting with the ability for the S2 app to display controls on my iOS lock-screen. It’s strange: sometimes the controls appear on my lock screen, sometimes they don’t. I haven’t been able to discern any logic as to when they do / don’t. For instance: right now, I have my iPhone and my iPad active, but without any AirPlay-eligible apps open. And an LG TV (to which my Beam is attached via HDMI ARC) sitting passively / off. And yet the lock screen controls won't show on my iPhone, as they were doing earlier today. I can imagine this is an iOS problem, rather than a Sonos problem (since, mysteriously, sometimes my Timer will appear on my lock screen, and sometimes it won’t). But, just in case there’s an easy fix: I figured I’d ask.. Many thanks..

Has AirPlay been deactivated in your LG tv?

No, AirPlay is still active on the TV, although the set is turned off. Does it continue to have effects running in some kind of silent/latent mode? With everything remaining identical this morning, the lock screen controls do now work. Or: is this the concern when AirPlay devices aren’t explicitly turned-off? I.e. that there’s wild inconsistency as to when/if the lock screen controls work?
I would try deactivating AirPlay in the TV and any other devices and see how that works. I have deactivated AirPlay in my TV and Apple TV, and lock screen control works fine on my IPhone when music has been started from the IPhone. Otherwise I can activate it by force closing and restarting the Sonos app.
