Add-ons

Sonos

Supports simple Sonos Controls and notifications from XBMC.

Introduction

The XBMC Sonos addon is due to be released shortly. Please note that features will be added over time, and some features are currently only in an "Example" format to show the sort of thing that will be coming in furture versions.

The Sonos addon currently only supports a single speaker - this is partly because I only have one speaker available to test any features.

Installation

The Sonos addon does not require any other programs installed. It will communicate directly with your Sonos speaker to perform operations.

The following settings are available:

Speaker

Search For Sonos Speakers...

Attempt to auto detect any Sonos speakers on the network

IP Address

The IP Address of your speaker

Notifications

Enable Notifications (Restart Required)

Enables or disables the popup notification of track change

Display Notification For (Seconds)

How long to display the track information on the screen

Notification Check Frequency (Seconds)

The frequency in which the service check which track is playing on the Sonos speaker

Do Not Display Notification If Video Is Playing

Prevents the popup notification displaying while a video file is playing

Use Default XBMC Notification Dialog

Uses the default XBMC popup dialog instead of the custom Sonos one

Advanced

Enable Debug logging

Enables Sonos debug logging into the XBMC log file

Features

Notifications

Upon startup of XBMC, the Sonos addon will launch a service to monitor your Sonos speaker. It will then provide a popup each time the track being played on the Sonos speaker changes. This can be disabled via the settings menu if not required.

Main Script/Controller

This feature is currently in an "example" state. This means there is not a proper graphical front end (Just a list of commands), but some basic commands do exist in a very plain form. (Lots more will be added to this over time if people find the addon useful)

This supports things like Play, Pause, Skip, Mute.

To enable this feature just run the addon program in the normal way or add it to your XBMC Home Page and launch it from there.

Debugging

If reporting a problem, please also provide a debug log. To do this you need to enable BOTH:

• XBMC logging from the main setting menu
• Sonos debug from the Sonos addon settings menu

Please do not paste the log into the forum thread, just link to it.
