![]() Yes, you can definitely group using the Sonos app, but of course, after May, the grouping of old with new Sonos devices goes away, so… For me, grouping has never really been all that important, but for many Sonos users, I’m sure it’s critical. Not something anyone in my family (the typical Sonos target user) would begin to attempt, but at least there’s a ton of good tutorials online, given the Pi’s popularity. I did get a Pi, which required loading several missing libs and modules at the command prompt. OK, given my previous experience with LMS, I was quite sceptical. And, despite being able to group some of the devices, they're rarely in synch, often off by more than a second. Your average Sonos owner wouldn't have even attempted this.Īfter all that, with the Chromecast and UPnP bridges installed, it does unify Sonos with my old Squeezebox Radio, my Google devices, and the KEiiD renderer into a single UI, usable, but hardly as good as the Sonos app in numerous respects. Now, I'm a techie, with decades of experience with Unix command lines, yet it took me hours to get even this far. Was finally able to manually install the Mobile skin, which is ok for phones and tablets, not so great on desktops. I well remember several years ago going through the massive update on thousands of servers, and tens of thousands of laptops at Megacorp for this very issue, the TLS 1.3 update, However, github, where the Material skin is hosted, won't allow this ancient, insecure SSL version to connect. This pulled down an ancient, very insecure version of the SSL library, but at least LMS updated. So, had to point apt to the archive repositories, as LMS wouldn't update with the current ones. Worse, it's using an ancient PowerPC CPU, which the Perl repositories have even abandoned. Unfortunately (like Sonos is planning), the hardware has been unsupported by Western Digital for years now. It still has an older version of LMS installed on it. So, pulled the old MyBookLive NAS out of storage. ![]() It is not intended to decry or compete with the base Sonos system. Maybe somebody will find it interesting and useful.
