Audio Player with SONOS playback (v.2.4)

Do you like this Feature? Please support the continuous updates with a little appreciation

What it does not do:

  • Streaming. Audio Player does not stream using AirPlay or similar
  • Audio Player does not play the file in the browser when in "SONOS Mode"

What it does do:

  • All titles need to be stored in a location, which can be reached via SMB from the SONOS controller
  • The SMB location needs to be available in the SONOS App Music Library section
  • Audio Player will use the internal location from Nextcloud and hand over the SMB path of that file to the controller
  • Audio Player will fill the queue of the SONOS controller with the selected playlist/album
  • Audio Player will act as a remote (start/pause/next/prev/volume up/volume down) to your SONOS
  • SONOS will play all audio on its own

Setup

  • Nextcloud => Settings => Personal => Audio Player
  • Select one of your players from the dropdown
  • The SMB path to the audio files needs to be entered. This needs to be the location of the folder which is linked in External Storage

example:

  • all files are located at qnap/Multimedia/iTunes/Music/
  • Nextcloud External Storage is set up to this path with the folder name Party
  • Nextcloud files app shows your music as e.g. /Party/Album1/1.mp3
  • => the input path needs to be qnap/Multimedia/iTunes/Music/

Problem Analysis

  • reopen personal settings and verify that the controller & path is saved
  • within Audio Player, select open the sidebar for a file via "…"
  • Select the SONOS tabview (only visible when in SONOS mode)
  • verify the shown combined link if the path is correct
