Having Major Problem Installing Latest Sonos Plug-In

I just deleted a post I composed yesterday as it was nonsensical. I have previous Indigo versions on my computer: 2021.2, 2022.2 and now 2023.1. After the upgrade to 2023.1 yesterday my Sonos plug-in failed. I went back to 2021.2 and it worked. Then I upgraded to 2022.2 and the plug-in still worked. I then updated my Python 2 scripts to Python3, no small task, and was good to go. But, this morning I noticed new plug-in versions including Sonos so I downloaded and installed them. The Sonos plug-in stopped! So I am thinking it's not compatible to 2022.2 Indigo version so I again upgrade Indigo to the latest version. Not working! I don't want to got through the 2021.2 -> 2022.2 upgrade again because I will have to fix all my scripts again. So now I'm stuck.

Any help getting this straitened out will be appreciated. I would pay for help at this point!

My Mac OS version is 11.4

Please help! Thanks.

I think we need a bit more information in order to help.

Can you post the event log messages when the Sonos plugin stopped working and can you describe exactly what is happening?
Hopefully, that will give us a clue as to what is going wrong.

The updated Sonos plugin requires Python 3 and should run on Indigo 2022.1+

The previous version of the Sonos plugin will run on Indigo 2022.1 / 2022.2 but not Indigo 2023.1.

So you could downgrade to Indigo 2022.2, reinstall the previous version of the plugin and your changed scripts will work as Indigo 2022.2 supports Python 2 and Python 3.

However, the best solution would be to try and resolve why the Sonos plugin isn't working for you.

Resolved! When I installed the latest plugin I failed to notice the Terminal instruction in the Event Log. After a couple of terminal sessions I got the plug-in to work. All it took was looking back at yesterday's log file. Thanks for the rapid response/support. Below is the text of actions taken:

Hi - regarding this, on both of my Indigo servers located in two different houses and on two different types of computers, I am getting this same message when trying the terminal commands.

All of the terminal commands are successful except for:

pip3.10 install lxml==4.9.2 --target "/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2023.1/Preferences/Plugins/com.ssi.indigoplugin.Sonos.python_packages"

which returns this error (on both systems it's a similar error):

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
*********************************************************************************
Could not find function xmlCheckVersion in library libxml2. Is libxml2 installed?
Perhaps try: xcode-select --install
*********************************************************************************
error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1
[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for lxml

ERROR: Could not build wheels for lxml, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

That looks like you have not installed Xcode and it's command line tools. Those are needed for some Python libraries that need to be compiled.

Install Xcode from the app store, then run "xcode-select --install" in the Terminal to install the command line tools.

Thank you! That worked.

One quick note to those who are reading this – after installing Xcode from the app store you must agree to the license, which can be done from within the terminal (instructions given) before the rest of this will work.
