PLAY TRACK works with one file, but not another (SOLVED)


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I have some Webcore code and a Sonos One. I got Speaker Companion to read text successfully. Now I’m trying to get Webcore’s Play Track to play some custom MP3 files. I was using my own MP3 files, but didn’t have any luck, probably due to errors I was making with Dropbox and then Github. To work around those issues, I starting using two accessible MP3s others had referenced in their posts. Both of the following MP3s play fine in a browser with no intervention.

barking dogs

Concerto

2) What is the expected behaviour?
I wrote two simple one line pistons to do a play track of the URLs.
I was expecting the MP3s to be played.

3) What is happening/not happening?
The dogs bark quite well, but the concerto does not play.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston
5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full

Just a thought… wonder if the url has to be https? Can you try using https for your second url?


#3

No. It didn’t make any difference. You aware of any restrictions on MP3 files themselves?


#4

According to Sonos supported audio formats, MP3 sample rates can be:
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz

Unfortunately, the Cello’s sample rate is 11.025 kHz

SOLVED. Thanks very much. I really appreciate the help.
