Sonos does not play MP3


#1

Hi everyone,
Simple question… but I can’t find out why it does not work.
I am trying to have my sonos player to play a mp3 sound in a piston.


Thanks for your help
Greg

Try removing the “at volume 100” to see if it works.

Thanks… but no better…


#4

Are you able to play that mp3 with that url in your browser?


#5

yep !


#6

Try this mp3…
https:// s3.amazonaws.com/smartapp-media/sonos/dogs.mp3

I placed a space before s3 that you will need to remove

Just FYI, whatever MP3 you end up using, you should still follow @jkp’s original suggestion to remove the volume setting option. There have been previous threads discussing the fact that tracks don’t play if the volume option is set. Just use a separate “set level” action before “play track.”

What is 192.168.1.100? If it’s a NAS, maybe try a UNC path?

thanks to all !!

  • level removed @bthrock : no luck
  • tried the link you provided @jkp same…
    and UNC path did not worked @Bry

Update : I was a bit optimistic… in fact sonos was playing the lastest track I played trough the sonos app, not the one given in the webcore piston url…

I was having the same problem and nothing worked.
Later on due to changing wifi router I had to add sonos speakers from scratch.
After adding them all, play track started working flawlessly.

Just an idea.
