Request: Roku App

17 replies

I have my Sonos:Connect connected to my TV, and one thing I would LOVE to be able to do is play music through the TV and use the TV as a controller. Being able to see what is playing, and use my Roku remote to rate tracks and control playback.

As complete as the Sonos experience feels for me, this is definitely a place where I feel I am missing.

Some of the streaming services has Roku apps, that definitely fills in some of the gap, but not all of them do. Plus this doesnt allow me to modify groups, which still has to be done through the use of a phone or computer.

I agree! A roku app for sonos would really create the ability to interact with sonos without an iPad or computer around and display the artwork on the tv to everyone in the room! Also please get Spotify to update their roku app to choose sonos as device

I second this request: I have just entered the Sonos world, and the possibility to use my TV (with Roku) as a giant controller would be awesome. Roku systems are so widespread nowadays that I think the effort to build/adapt an app would be well worth.

I agree that Sonos needs to expand control beyond cell phones and tablets. Roku would be a good start. Opening the platform would be even better. The single biggest annoyance I have with Sonos is that I have to use a dedicated app just for Sonos and another app while I'm away. I don't see how a closed system adds to the Sonos brand.
