Supports simple Sonos Controls and notifications from XBMC.
Introduction
The XBMC Sonos addon is due to be release 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
- 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 the basics do exist in a very plain form.
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.
