General discussions about the sonos http api, ideas, help setting it up etc.
the IP address stays the same for a few timeouts, then it seems to pick a new one
Yeah it did, I had made the IP static. But then I took that off, it was assigned a new one, and the API kept calling the old IP. restarted the API, and now I'm getting a new error: Got status 500 when invoking /MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Control","stack":"Error: Got status 500 when invoking /MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Control\n at Object.invoke (/home/pi/node-sonos-http-api/node_modules/sonos-discovery/lib/helpers/soap.js:99:10)\n at Player.play (/home/pi/node-sonos-http-api/node_modules/sonos-discovery/lib/models/Player.js:446:15)\n at promise.then (/home/pi/node-sonos-http-api/node_modules/sonos-discovery/lib/prototypes/SonosSystem/applyPreset.js:153:46)\n at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:86:5)"}
idk man, things were working smoothly for so long and then things got weird. maybe around the time I added a sub to the system? tho not sure how that would mess things up. do you generally suggest ppl put all the speakers on static IP, or does that not usually make a difference?
@jasonthefirst_twitter it normally doesn't make a difference, and a healthy network shouldn't change ip-addresses at all if the devices are constantly powered on. I don't see how a sub would affect anything. I would be surprised if the system works flawlessly outside of this api...
sorry, early send- I have inserted that following the 'var settings' section, but I am not sure if that is the correct place to put it, as it isn't changing from the default google voice
@wasfret_twitter did you put that in settings.json? Also, voice is lower case, and Joana might not be a valid voice name on macos
@lnguyenh thank you very much! but there is another issue. I dont use homebridge in its native form, but a HOOBS-Installation instead. Everytime i reboot the system, the directory "/node-sonos-http-api-master" is automatically deleted, so there is no .js to start. Sorry for the massive noobness.

should I delete the settings.js file? everything starts up fine but it isn't accepting my macSay addition or my spotify keys for search
I'm running this on a mac, I should mention. my settings.json file reads like this-
and it is in the root directory of the server
@OwainWilliams Yes i did. To be honest i'm totally sure that what i did change anything but now it works.
I just had to set environment variables for Spotipy on my Rasperrby PI see : https://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#authorization-code-flow

I'm using this project (which is awesome) to do voice announcements from a home automation system. It issues commands like http://192.168.2.51:5005/saypreset/firstfloor/Woop%20there%20it%20is/Matthew/5 I set a preset firstfloor.json file as below:
{
"players": [
{
"roomName": "1. Family Room",
"volume": 50
},
{
"roomName": "1. Library",
"volume": 50
},
{
"roomName": "0. Ruff Playroom",
"volume": 50
}
],
"pauseOthers": false,
}What is strange is that regardless of setting on "pauseOthers", either true or false, it always pauses the other players in the house. So, as the voice announcement plays, the other zones, if they're playing something, pause and then resume after the announcement. It seems that /saypreset/ doesn't respect the pauseOthers flag. I looked through the code, and don't see how it works exactly. I was wondering if this is a known thing?

To start with: Thanks for a great job. This has really made communicating with my Sonos devices a whole lot easier. For example I'm now using this to play vinyl records on my sonos speakers by the click of a smart button attached to the vinyl player.
However, I am having some problems with getting the info of what is being played on my speakers (I am talking about songs from Spotify here, obviously I understand I can't get track data when playing line-in vinyl...). When I call "state" I get an almost empty "currentTrack" where only the uri is set (to "x-rincon:...."). Other variables (such as elapsedTime, which always seem to return "24") are also giving incorrect values.

I've just setup a new rasp pi, and cant get the text to speech to work. I've updates settings.json with my voicerss api key. The browser returns success from the request, but nothing comes out of the sonos and the terminal log shows 2021-01-16T16:24:16.816Z ERROR
{ error: 'action \'tts\' not found' }
My old PI does this ok with the same voicerss api key. Any ideas? Thanks

Hey y’all, having a weird response time issue. I’m using some clips I made to function as ‘bells’ for my kid’s virtual school. So ive set up an automation to run a shortcut on my phone a minute or two before she needs to log back on. Shortcut just calls the URL to play the clip. It used to be quite quick, but things have slowed down and now it’ll be 2-3 minutes before the clip will play. This morning i even had a request time out, according to shortcuts, and then a minute later the clip played.

Anyone experience this before or have thoughts on what could be causing this?
Hey, I'm having some weird problems with my API, and especially attempting to play/queue Spotify playlists and albums. Adding them to the queue seems to work (in that their contents appear in /queue), but I can't access/play them. I think maybe Sonos is hung up in my connection through the Spotify app on my phone? It continues on my playlist there at least, and /state lists songs from there as current/next.
Also, if I try to play the playlist/album directly, I get some obscure errors:

Can anyone see what's going on?

Hey all, any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the remove command to work for my sonos node instance? I am typing "http://192.168.4.24:5005/remove/Bathroom" into my web browser but am getting "{"status":"error"}" when I try. The "add" command with the same syntax works perfectly every time.
Hi. For your information: Stephan has created a great SONOS documentation. Feel free to just use it or submit PR to improve. Location: https://svrooij.io/sonos-api-docs/services/

Hm, tried the targeted url in my browser and it is still there though.
Hey folks, for whatever reason, since today i'm facing the problem that my sonos-api doesnt recognise my sonos system. We're running two Households in the same network. The "other" sonos setup is found, mine is not. I followed the docu in https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api/blob/07b5e12143e7f6a06d7b524e5a6b37cff40e7af3/README.md#settingsjson -
It states that i can find the "id" for my dedicated household/sonos system, but i have no clue on how to set it up in the settings.js file. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Meaning, I’m sitting with my computer looking at my desktop screen.
What/where/which code do I need to insert and to which application/program on ky computer? Ive downloaded node.js and i assumed I would open terminal and follow the README, but when I type in “npm install —productions” it says it can’t find the directory. I’m not sure where to go from here. Thank you.
