Sonos Voice Control and NAS Server?

For SVC users to research in depth while they wait for Sonos to implement SVC on local NAS.

Digressing here but I am not getting what is the benefit of this effort. I too have some 20000 tracks and maybe ten playlists that each have 500 to 5000 tracks. All load per the normal procedure without doing any of what you have done. Depending on the genre I want, the relevant playlist is loaded. 

What would I gain by loading all 20000 as one playlist via your elaborate process? I can only think of playing all my music in shuffled mode. What else? For users with or without the SVC feature?

Or am I missing something?

It’s a 5 min read at best, and you’re asking if a specific command exists.  It takes very little effort to see that there is no command to do what you’re asking for.

And there shouldn’t be an implication that all SVC users, rather than just a fraction of them, are waiting for local library voice control.

I was merely trying to simply demonstrate that users can load ‘virtually’ almost  any/every size of local library playlist (large or small) and begin to control that playlist with SVC voice commands - nothing more than that @Kumar.

Only some users in other community threads tend to mention they can’t get a local playlist over (approx.) 3,500 to often load, so I was just including those details too, to perhaps assist users who may have encountered that difficulty, but wanted to give things a go with their local library and SVC.

Personally speaking, I will just use SVC mostly with Amazon and Deezer, but was just trying to assist others here who may prefer to use their locally stored tracks.

And here I was thinking that this thread is about SVC users that want NAS control🤣

I won’t use SVC at all since I will stay on S1, so my posts, taking a cue from your words in another thread, are made with the same objective as quoted above. Let’s see if both sets of suggestions make any sense to those posters that are the only ones actually affected in this thread - the ones that want SVC to do NAS control.

SVC on NAS is one of the features that might persuade me to move to S2, which would then require me to purchase some voice enabled devices. But I doubt that there are enough people like me to make the business case but you never know, there might be enough other edge cases to justify the investment.

I would be tempted as well, but there is so much expense in changing devices in 5 zones to get just this one useable to me feature, that better sense will prevail, I am quite sure. In any case, I agree that if this involves a major effort needed on the Sonos side to get this to work, it may never see the light of day, given the declared by Sonos small market now of NAS users. The upside to me of this outcome is the absence of temptation!

It was an Alexa service, so of course.

Obviously.  But as I stated, lets not forget about the volume of users impacted.  I just can’t imagine Sonos is going to be able to prioritize control over local libraries over popular music services yet to be supported.  Even then, I wouldn’t be surprised to see SVC venture into smart home control and other non-music related features before local library control, due to the volume of users who would be interested in such features.
