You are talking about something different to what I was commenting upon.
I was commenting about all of the non-functional Sonos pollution in the MMA Media Servers tab.
I had not tried MMA casting to Sonos before.
I have now looked at it. Comments:
* The List is better because it lists Sonos room location, not just IP Address
* the list still displays left and paired right units separately, and also subs separately
* MMA cannot successfully cast to a Sonos ... no sound. No error.
* MMA can play to a Sonos if goes via a Google Chromecast dongle
You guys DO KNOW how to play to Sonos units because you have set this up correctly from MMW, ie. I can play to a selected Sonos unit using MM5
If the DEVs want more info showing to see how to successfully connect to Sonos, and how to list Sonos Grouped units, rather than individual components, they could look at this
Open Source project. Is in Python, but it will illustrate how to connect to and use Sonos via its UPnP backbone.
Comment: Ventis should stump the $$'s to get a Sonos unit pair for the person doing the development. They would need to S1 units. Probably about $500 US. or 2nd hand probably about the cost of a week's worth of petrol, pizza, beers & cigarettes
Sonos is just getting started. The company believes it’s just scratching the surface of its long-term opportunity. Sonos was in 11 million homes at the end of fiscal year 2020, representing only approximately 9% of the 116 million affluent homes in its existing markets1. On the revenue side, Sonos accounted for approximately 7% of the total spend in the $18 billion premium home audio market in 20202, and expects to expand into the broader $89 billion global audio opportunity over the long-term
