SONOS - play audio file

[Veki 0]

Hi.

Can anyone share solution how to play mp3 file on Sonos. I use kirkof VD, but that is only for TTS.

My goal is to play some mp3 file when I change state of some variables in HC.

Thanks

that VD can do files as well, here is a scene i have to play a star trek red alert file from my NAS

 

--[[
%% properties
%% events
%% globals
--]]

-- 416 is the Virtual Device ID
-- 28 is the Process button ID
local sid, bid = 416, 28
-- Create STREAM params object
local params = {
  -- stream: the file / uri
  stream = "//DISKSTATION/music/redalert.mp3",
  -- source: "local" or "http", "local" is setted by default
  source = "local",
  -- duration: play duration in seconds (option) or "auto"
  duration = "auto",
  -- volume: the volume for playing the stream
  volume = 50
}
local _f = fibaro
local _x ={root="x_sonos_object",load=function(b)local c=_f:getGlobalValue(b.root)if string.len(c)>0 then local d=json.decode(c)if d and type(d)=="table"then return d else _f:debug("Unable to process data, check variable")end else _f:debug("No data found!")end end,set=function(b,e,d)local f=b:load()if f[e]then for g,h in pairs(d)do f[e][g]=h end else f[e]=d end;_f:setGlobal(b.root,json.encode(f))end,get=function(b,e)local f=b:load()if f and type(f)=="table"then for g,h in pairs(f)do if tostring(g)==tostring(e or"")then return h end end end;return nil end}
-- Make a request to the remote to process params object instantly
_x:set(tostring(sid), { stream = params })
_f:call(sid, "pressButton", bid)

First You need to have VD from Jean-Christophe Vermandé (Krikroff77) "SONOS Remote & Text To Speech (TTS)" .

Than just in scene from spazpeker@ change stream path. If You use network location for your audio files adjust folder permission so that Fibaro can access it.

Sonos remote VD is in att.

It works, thank you very much! But are you also facing delay-problems? When I start playing the MP3-file (in my case a 6 second alarm sound) it's not that easy to stop it fast. It takes around 10 - 15 seconds until the VD accepts stopping the script. Even if you push directly on the buttons of the VD instance, it takes time.... any idea how I can fix that? Thanks!

Hi @Veki!

 

I have just install the VD, and created a scene according to above stream.

Should I create global variables or something, because I'm getting error message which shows there is something wrong with global variables, becuase the VD and the scene got NIL value.

 

Here are the lines with the problems:

 

local _x ={root="x_sonos_object",load=function(b)
local c=_f:getGlobalValue(b.root) 
if string.len(c)>0 then 
 

The error message is 

 

2020-04-29 22:00:48.847847 [ fatal] Unknown exception: /opt/fibaro/scenes/84.lua:25: bad argument #1 to 'len' (string expected, got nil)

 

Do you have any idea what the wrong is?

 

Thank you!
