So I was excited to install the Sonos Plug-in on my S70, and have been using it extensively today to test it. Unfortunately, I've been pretty disappointed. Here's what I've discovered (and maybe some of this is attributable to my own setup/network)...

1) If I select the Sonos Plug-in before my Nevo has had a chance to fully connect wirelessly, the Plugin will throw an error stating Nevo Controller has no wifi connectivity, even though it clearly does by that point. And it won't recover unless you close it down back to the home screen. If I go to my intermediate screen that then presents the button for the Sonos Plug-in (I have wifi set to turn on for this page), and I wait for the wifi to connect, and then start the Sonos Plug-in, it's fine.

2) Volume - very flakey behaviour. Sometimes it registers the command to increase/decrease volume, and sometimes it doesn't. And this is with Group Volume. When I try to adjust volume for a particular zone in the group, it almost never works.

3) The Now Playing screen that is supposed to show your album artwork never seems to refresh. Mine has been frozen on a song from my queue that played over 10 songs ago, and nothing I do seems to refresh the display, other than completely shutting down the plug-in and restarting it.

4) "Music Library" is listed twice on the home selection screen.

Has anyone seen similar behaviour? Do I just have a flakey environment here causing these issues? My Sonos itself tends to work pretty flawlessly, so I doubt there are issues with the mesh network.

I have seen some of these.

#1 is easy to fix with a widget. 2 block. 1st block is a system event (wifi on)
The 2nd block is an action block with a jump to the sonos plug-in.

All you do is make a sonos button. jump to a "loading" page that has the new widget. Once wifi connects the plugin will load.

#2. I see these every now and again but as I don't use the volume often it does not concern me.

#3 I have seen this too. I suggest letting Nevo know. The more people that tell them the quicker it will be fixed/looked at.

#4 no big deal. They both work the same.

Having it on a mesh network will compile the issues you are seeing. Remember that UPnP is heavy on the network so a direct connection is going to be better. Mine is a single 90 connected directly to my network.

D.

I think that second "Music Library" option appeared after I updated my Sonos system with the lastest software. Hopefully they can bring an update to get rid of that because even though it doesn't hurt anything too much, I would hope they'd want to clean that up.
