I have debugging turned on in the integration and the speaker device. I am using a DNLA player to play to the speaker. When I start music playing on the speaker the device track description does not update, absolutely nothing is logged. When the track finishes and the next track starts the track description does not change, nothing is logged. What am I misunderstanding?
but other than the track description not updating its working?, or nothing works...
give me your setup so i can test whats going on
In some sense it is a straight forward setup. No groups, no favorites. What maybe different is that J River Media Center is the device that is playing to the Sonos Era 100. Your driver is not picking up the events emitted from Sonos as the track info changes. How I know this is because the community driver spews them out in the logs and the track data updates as needed. So I am not getting any functionality. I have not tried TTS yet. I wonder if you used a phone app and played Amazon or Apple music to a Sonos that might replicate what is going on. Or you could use the 30 day free trial for J River for bit perfect music reproduction.
Actual play lists from amazon music, and tidal in my case update track info, radio stations are hit and miss, some do and some don't, depends on the source, nothing i can do about that.
well you need to be specific, not getting any functionality implies the entire thing is broken, is you're meaning that everything else, volume play, pause and other elements controlled by the J River work and the Hubitat player is reflecting these changes?, and it's only the track info that's not updating?
Which community driver are you referencing here?
Daniel Winks's driver. When I initially installed the integration it correctly identifies the current track the player is on and the fact that the player is stopped.
These reference commands issued from the player.
Start play on next track-->status does not change to playing, track description did not change
Let song finish and next starts, stop, play, pause, next track all show the same result.
Change volume-->is not reflected in driver
Mute/unmute-->is not reflected in driver
Same results for volume up/down
All the reference Hubitat Driver Command
Pause-->Player paused, driver status remained stopped
Play-->Player resumed, driver status remained stopped
Stop-->Player stopped, driver status remained stopped
Play again-->Player starts current track but playlist gets cleared (not a deal breaker)
Set level-->Player changed to volume, driver did not update
Mute/unmute-->Player muted/unmuted, driver did not update
Same results for volume up/down
I guess it is my turn to try Amazon Music. Later.
Thanks, no need to test amazon music, we believe a fix for this issue will be in the next platform release, which will likely be 130 or 131.
Great, much appreciated.
When the dust settles I would like to make some wish list items. My use case is to use Rule Machine Rules to POST Aritst, Album and Track as separate track data items. You already have all the other States I use except Artwork. I understand not doing that one since the artwork format seems to be source provider specific. For my case I'm pretty sure I can parse it out of the announcementPlayerState. For example:
