Hi,

device = soco.discovery.any_soco()

print(device)

zone = device.group.coordinator

print(zone)

zone.play_uri('http://rundfunk.ice.infomaniak.ch/rundfunk-192.mp3', title='Rundfunk FM')

Code hier eingeben...

Output:

/Users/mpeter/.pyenv/versions/3.4.4/bin/python3 /Users/mpeter/PycharmProjects/sonos/Play2.py

Hi, tested your code and it displays on the Sonos controller:

"Unabable to play 'rundfunk-192.mp3' - the song is not encoded correctly."

So your program is working, but Sonos is unable to decode that mp3 stream. 

However, if you add this as a radio station in Sonos then it plays! (Manage / Add radio station.....)

So one way round is to use Soco to play a radio station you have stored.

But will also try to look what is different about how Sonos calls a stored radio station.

Hi Marc and DPH

@DPH This seems to be the same issue as #434 (https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/issues/434). If you do some wiresharking, can you share it in the bug report as well?

SOLVED:

Using wireshark the way Sonos calls this is using a prefix of 'x-rincon-mp3radio://'

So it works if you change http:// to the above. The below example works:

zone.play_uri('x-rincon-mp3radio://rundfunk.ice.infomaniak.ch/rundfunk-192.mp3', title='Rundfunk FM')
