Sonos Python 3 Beta

Hi Neil,
I am now more confused ,

Is there a problem with favourites that I should be looking at?

You say it works from the Sonos App but not in the plugin?

It is indeed the play favourite option

And the favourite in question is working if used manually (sometimes the favourites can be flaky when via different services)

Jon - I also tried it on the Python 2 version and the 'title' error also happens with that, so it may be an issue as the favourite in question is in BBC Sounds so possible it stopped working when they moved the BBC stations to the Sonos BBC Sounds service and I just never noticed.

It does work when it refers to a file in my local library.

.... So while there are still some errors, paired speakers are definitely causing the larger problem.

I have just uploaded a new version (2023.0.9) - see announcements section for link.

I have fixed a couple of the issues you were having and put in further error traps to further isolate the issues.

I have tested stereo pairs and was also getting the UPNP 500 error. However if I delete the slave device (in Indigo) and only define the master of the pair to Indigo then it appears to work OK for me. Scanning back over this Sonos forum and searching for "Stereo pair", various posts suggest only defining the master | controlling speaker of the pair.

I accept this may have worked before but we need to bear in mind that the SoCo version is now ten versions ahead of what is used in the Python 2 version of the plugin.

Let me know if this will work for you. If not, please let me know what your requirement is so that I cna investigate how to best manage this. Thanks.

Upgraded to latest version, same error in log. It didn't prompt me to install anything, ...

Thanks for the report.

Just retested this and indeed it didn't work!
I have found the error and it will be corrected in the .8 release.

The .9 release has just been uploaded - see announcements section.

This fix is great for me. I don't really need those speakers in Indigo so I'll jut define the beam that controls them. Thanks for your hard work here!

This is great! Thanks so much for updating. It's working really well.

Only exceptions for me are:
- artwork which doesn't seem to be updating. Can't figure out why not.
- BBCradio stations. That wasn't working in the previous version either - ever since the BBC moved away from TunedIn to BBC Sounds. The plugin sees that I have a BBC radio station as a favourite, but won't play it. Log says this:

Thanks for the feedback

I will look at the artwork issue.
Not sure what I can do about the BBC radio stations but will take a look.

Just posted version 2023.0.10 to Github: Cover Artwork Bug Fix

Hopefully the artwork will now be created!

I have just downloaded .10 from Github and successfully installed it on my production Mac mini.

Can I suggest that you re-download the plugin and try again to install it, in case it got corrupted?
In the meanwhile, I will try and find out what the error message means.

Yes! Works perfectly. Thank you.

I tried a few times and got the same error. Turns out the plugin was removed somewhere along the way. An Indigo reboot solved the problem.

And the artwork is working too!

Thanks for upgrading this to P3.

I have installed via pip a number of plugins as the event log suggests. But the pandora plugin fails to load. Tried loading a few times.
(I don't use Pandora, but the Sonos plugin will not load without this plugin)

To be honest, not quite sure what is causing this problem.

As Pandora isn't working at the moment and I am unable to test it being UK based, I have temporarily disabled it so that the plugin should load OK for you. A new version .11 is available on Github, see announcements.

I need to work out how to support Pandora.

I am not sure how many Sonos plugin users use Pandora?

I use Pandora with Sonos, but it's not critical to my Indigo integration.
