Thatās a problem. The whole internet will be https in very short order, and even locally hosted stuff are generating āunsecureā notices on current browsers.

lol, thanks
That one works great. Now I need to figure out where to put the files if I canāt use dropbox. Google drive, One Drive and Box also all use Https. Like @EdwardN said, everything will be using it soon.
If you have a NAS, they are usually able to add a simple local hosted web site fairly easily.
Havenāt had a NAS in a few years now. With everything in the cloud (Play Music, Google Photos. Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) I didnāt have a need to keep it going. 
If you have a computer thatās always on then you could just install a webserver to that (something like xampp)
Or perhaps the easiest would be a Raspberry Pi webserver

I do have a mini pc running Blue Iris 24/7. I havenāt setup a webserver in many years, though. Last time was when Napster was in its hay day, lol. Took your advise and installed xampp on it. Easy enough to install. Just had to turn on the Apache module, copy my mp3 files over and it is good to go. Hubitat now has a voice!
For anyone else that wants/needs to do this:
- Download xampp for windows and install (I used all default settings)
- āStartā Apache within the control window
- Open up windows explorer and go into C:\xampp\htdocs
- Create a new directory, in my case āSonosā and copy your mp3ās into it
Now when making an event with the MP3 Event Player just put in your local ip address for that windows machine. ie. http://192.168.xx.xx/Sonos
Remember like @Cobra said in the first post. IP address and File Name are case sensitive!
Hope this helps and thanks to @Cobra for this awesome app.

So I was setting up a bunch of events and think Iāve come across a problem.
I setup a test event that triggers on āSwitch Onā everything works fine, speech comes out of the Sonos.
If I have the same event trigger off of āTimeā, I get an error and no speech.
The error is ā2018-04-22 10:51:00.065: error Cannot get property āvalueā on null object on line 305ā
Thanks

Thanks for letting me know.
I have found the bug and have posted the revision to GitHub.
You just need to update the code for the child app (the parent stays the same)
New child app version: 1.2.1
Andy
Found another bug in the way power appliance monitoring was working.
Fixed now!
New child app version: 1.2.2
Andy
Having another minor surgery today Hopefully get to check this out soon.

Hi @Cobra . Great Work! I am playing with your app now. I believe I may have found a bug, or maybe I am doing something wrong. Announcements are working and everything was working great until I created a virtual switch called āPlay Announcementsā, and selected it in the āSelect Enable/Disable Switch (Optional)ā dropdown. When I save the app with the switch already on, the app works great. If I change the virtual switch to off, the announcement stop (as desired). If I then switch the virtual switch back on, the announcements do not start working again.
I am using V1.2.2

What is the trigger you are using?
Andy
@DeveloperDavidB
I think Iāve found the issue and fixed it (I thought Iād fixed this one before)
New version 1.2.3 uploaded to GitHub if youād like to try it?
Please let me know how you,get on
Andy
That was fast! I will give it a whirl!
Seems to work now! Thank you. The only other concern I have is the volume setting doesnāt seem to set the volume of the Sonos speaker correct?. I think it is changing the volume being sent to sonos not the volume of the actual sonos amp. I have my setting in your app at 90, because my speakers are usually around 50%. My wife turned music down using the sonos app, and after the music was shut off, the announcement volume was reduced as well.
Not saying this is a problem, just want to confirm this is the intended behavior.
@DeveloperDavidB
Unfortunately , hubitat does not have any control over the amplifier, only the speakers.
I would think that the amp would always override the speaker settings.
I donāt have a sonos amp to test with (unless youād like to buy me one 
) but the volume to the speakers is set just before it sends the mp3.
If you turn on the logging you should see a method āsetVolume()ā called just before the mp3 is played, this method also sets the āquiet timeā volume settings if configured
I can only think that the amp is resetting them to the lower volume.
Not sure what we could do about this.
Andy
