Sonos support

musically

It would be really great to have Sonos support. Astiga is one of the few self-supplied cloud music services that allows nearly infinite tracks in your library so it would fit in perfectly with Sonos. Subsonic has support for Sonos (http://www.subsonic.org/pages/sonos.jsp), and Sonos is designed to stream music from services, so it should be pretty straight-foward.

Thanks!

I would LOVE this too. Astiga is a perfect match for Sonos and as @musically says, it wouldn't be that hard to set up as Sonos as an easy to use API ready made to achieve it.

Please :-)

Any updates to this? It's really not a big deal to add Sonos services.

Can you point me toward how easy-peasy this is? 😉

Here's two sources showing how subsonic does it:

Ah, ok. Looks like we have to exhibit a web service at /ws/Sonos .

Some other useful resources I've found where it has been implemented in Airsonic and Navidrome:

• https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic/pull/1738
• https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/issues/165

Essentially I think this should be possible using the "remote IP" approach ("using a remote Subsonic server"). Note that it is not Subsonic that Sonos is supporting; instead it is the other way around - Subsonic (and the other servers above) implemented a Sonos integration.

The problem might be how to authenticate the user. I'll have to look into that.

Correct, there's a company/product similar to Asti.ga that has Sonos integration (ibroadcast) so you might check with them? You can add unsupported music services like those links I posted (going to <sonos-ip>:1400/customsd) but it would be nice to have Sonos officially add it. I'm sure if you reached out they would help out.

Oh right! Thanks for your insights.
