Sonos touches grass

Howdy folks!

This morning, the team is deploying an update to both the Sonos app and player firmware. This release brings some podcast control improvements and a handful of usability improvements.

As a reminder, this will be a phased rollout. You may see the update ready in your app store now, or it may become available to you over the next few days.

 

Update Details

App version:

  • iOS - 84.00.34
  • Android - 84.00.32

 

Player version:

  • Player: 94.1-76070

App Updates

In addition to the typical bug fixes and performance improvements this update includes:

 

  • Added controls to jump ahead and back for long-form audio, starting with Spotify, Pocket Casts, and SiriusXM.
  • Improved visibility and badging for in-app messages.

 

  • On Android, quickly access EQ controls for Ace with the new EQ Shortcut. Enable this in App Preferences.
  • Improved visibility and badging for in-app messages on Android.

 

  • Starting with version 84, the Sonos app will start requiring a minimum system software version to ensure your system is running at its best.
  • For iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 users: The Sonos app will now operate in an unsupported mode. It will no longer receive updates and will be limited to music playback controls. To access all system configuration options, update to iOS 18 or higher.

    After updating all the album art was gone. Reindexed the library brought back maybe 70%. What’s changed? Did you limit the max resolution or something? Weird!

    Running on android 16.

    Both system and app updated fine. Available this morning (15th) in UK.

    Stable and responsive fof local lib and streaming.

    Album art (thumbnails) now show from local lib. in queue view which is a real help. Given that improved badging is mentioned hope that hd/hi-res badge will return please?

    Amazon Music Unlimited user created playlists still do not fully load into the queue.  Hope this is on the target list for the next app update.

    Will the team have any time to mow the lawn in the afternoon?

    How long a list? I don't have any big ones to test but a 200 long list seems to be loading.

    The Queue is being rounded down to the nearest 100. So a 240 track playlist only loads 200 tracks, 360 track playlist, only 300 tracks etc.

    I don’t know if this is related to the new release, but by Sonos now indicates unable to load content from my Plex Library. Reinstall the software reboot it the port device shut down and restart it. Plex server on Windows still Sonos indicates unable to load content from the Plex. This started about four hours ago, so might be related to the new Sonos release. I don’t know in any case on all of my three devices same message, unable to load content when I select the Plex playlist.

    Create the error, submit a diagnostic and call Sonos to get it looked into and possibly fixed.

    Forum posts don't have, as much impact.

    Make sure you move the speaker first.
