The New Sonos App and Future Feature Updates

After s rough ride installing this update it now appears stable. The update issue could be due to my internet provider having issues. 
 

i can report that so far ALL local media album art works. This is a vast improvement on previous version. 
 

Thank you

 Not so fast… On my IOS the queue is broken.  See my topic on 18.14.07- Queue is broken.

I confirm that album art is back on local library.

Volume control seems more responsive as well 

Still Radio icon disappears when the radio starts playing (and comes back when on pause...)

(This is on Android)

So far, it’s going into the right direction.

Installed the new APP (ios) and updated firmware on speakers.  That was the quickest firmware update I have ever experienced.  

“As we enter the New Year, we will continue our cadence of...focusing in particular on restoring Playlist Editing and Snooze Alarms, plus improvements to Local Music Library and overall responsiveness.”

No - focus on the products connecting correctly.  All of the other stuff doesn’t matter if the connection is always unstable.  Many of these connectivity issues existed before you guys totally screwed up the app - make it work before you worry about playlists and artwork populating correctly.

$3,000 in and I still can’t AirPlay my iPhone music to my system without half of the system not working.  We’ve got SONOS speakers in every room and half the rooms won’t work when we try to AirPlay music even though everything is on the same WiFi - so who cares about snooze alarms and artwork.

Can I put a bit in for those of us who are currently unable to play our music from our music libraries using mobile IOS devices.  The library is set up fine and is recognised, and can be accessed from a Windows desktop computer, but the “Your Sources” menu option either does not show, or does not contain “Music Library”

7 months and counting...

Persevered for 30 mins to see if the updates - system and app - settled down.

Then discovered art was back on library, but still no complete Sonos Playlist (A - D then it stops). No hd/hires banners, can't add downloads/burns recently added to NAS to queue... enough... 

and back to Windows... again. 

Android app is still unstable in my view:

Specifically, I constantly see either “There are no connected products” or “No products found” messages when I access the app.  One of these two messages will always appear when I access the app after the phone times out.

Also, no album art for AccuRadio music service.  This is one of the music services you can download directly from the Sonos app.  No radio station logo (icon) is displayed while the station is playing.  It will appear when the music is stopped.  

None of these problems occur with the Windows laptop controller.  You should make the app more like the laptop controllers.

Android app has an issue loading m3u playlists causing replication in the queue.

I have found that:

* Request a playlist of > 99 tracks and the error manifests replicating to huge totals

* Replication appears to be limited but figures vary - a 100 track playlist replicates 475 times to a total of 47,500 queued tracks. A 101 track playlist replicates to 47,571 which is 471 times so there is a pattern/limit there somewhere...

However:

* Request a playlist of < 100 tracks and all is fine with no replication

* It does not make a difference if some of the referenced files do not exist

* Request a large playlist (>99) from the desktop controller and there is no replication

So it would seem that the Sonos bug relates to a playlist track count of > 99 causing a load loop.
