command to play a sonos favorite?

[pol...@hotmail.com]

I'm trying to figure out how to play a sonos favorite.  Can anyone help me with this.  I'm scouring all the documentation I can, but I have yet to come across such a thing and need the help of those who know much more than I.  Thank You.

You can access the sonos favorites this way: 

import soco

device = soco.SoCo('10.0.1.102')

r = device.contentDirectory.Browse([('ObjectID', 'FV:2'), 

                                    ('BrowseFlag', 'BrowseDirectChildren'),

                                    ('Filter', '*'),   

                                    ('StartingIndex', '1'),

                                    ('RequestedCount', '1'),

                                    ('SortCriteria', '')])

print r['Result']

In this case this is returning the 2nd favorite on your list based on startingIndex and RequestedCount. These can be any source - music library, Sonos, Deezer, Radio etc, and I am not sure how do go from the didl XML to the URI. Let me know if you get to that.
