Sonos UPNP support about pulseaudio-dlna

[masmu]

Which devices is it exactly?

Could you provide a debug.log?

pulseaudio-dlna --debug 2>&1 | tee -a debug.log

[ryanroth]

I have the same issue. Here is a debug:

Could you please check the new version?

• 0.3.5 - (2015-04-09)
  • Fixed a bug where Sonos description XML could not get parsed correctly

[ryanroth]

It doesn't error out now. It appears the stream starts and then stops immediately

@ryanroth
Could you provide a debug.log for that as well? Because it really helps to find out what is really going on.

From what i can see now, your Sonos device does not recognize the stream encoding (i assume that you are using the default encoder) mp3. It might be, that the default bitrate of 320 is to high.

Did you try to use other encoders?
pulseaudio-dlna --encoder ogg for Ogg Vorbis
pulseaudio-dlna --encoder flac for Flac
pulseaudio-dlna --encoder wav for Wav

Which linux do you use? Ubuntu?
Which version?
Did you install it by the ppa or did you clone from git?

[ryanroth]

I tried wav and flac with the same results. Sonos supports 320kbps mp3s. I cloned from git. I will try to grab debugs later today.

@ryanroth Could you try the streaming-server branch?

There are many enhancements included, also your XML fix and another fix which might solve your issue.
If it does not work straight away, you can adjust the encoder and the bitrate (as far these support that) with the --encoder and --bit-rate options to figure things out.

Just a note: Nearly all encoders default bitrate is now set to 192 kbit/s.

Keep me posted.

[ryanroth]

Ok. I tested it and no go. But I'll mess with it more this weekend.

[masmu]

Please update the streaming-server branch. I added some additional DLNA headers and added more debug code.

When it does not work, please don't forget to paste another debug.log

[ryanroth]

The updated branch errors out when I run it

[masmu]

@ryanroth Sorry for that.

That should be fixed. I updated the branch. Do a git pull and try again please.

[ryanroth]

It now works. Still a bit glitchy depending on the audio import format it seems. I'll try to spend some time with it this week to gather better information and debugs.

[ryanroth]

This appears to be working properly.

[masmu]

Good to hear 😄

Thanks for your feedback!
Which device did you test exactly? I want to add it to the list of tested devices.

[ryanroth]

A single PLAY:1, two PLAY:1s in a stereo pair, and a single PLAY:3 all separately, and then all five of my speakers grouped together. All the grouping was done through the Sonos app.

I also have a couple feature requests/suggestions where would you like those posted?

[masmu]

Thanks.

Just open new issues please. One for each to keep things seperate.

If I am not mistaken, you changed README.md in the master branch, but the files in that branch still doesn't support Sonos. I have Sonos PLAY:5 and wanted to test it using "sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-dlna" but it is not working. Hopefully the next version 0.3.6 supports it and I will test it so you can add it to your list of tested devices :)

[ryanroth]

You need to change branches to the streaming-server branch

[masmu]

Yeah, i pushed it the the wrong branch. Thanks for the hint!

[alois74]

Sorry for not responding earlier, but I forgot to enable e-mail notifications and therefore didn't realize that some approaches on solving were already going on.
When I try to run the refactoring-streaming-server (downloaded via zip) no streaming devices are found.
When starting the (newly) downloaded master branch, still no sound :-(
Is there a difference between a git pull and the zip-Download on the page?
Sorry, but I am no developer and a git-newby.

When is the next version (0.3.6) planned?

[masmu]

• 0.4.0 - (2015-07-27)
  • Added the --fake-http10-content-length option
  • The application can now run as root
  • Catch pulseaudio exceptions for streams, sinks and modules when those are gone
  • Fixed a bug where a missing ssdp header field made the application crash
  • New devices are added now during runtime (thanks to coder-hugo)
  • Rewrite of the streaming server
  • Upnp devices can now request their audio format based on their capabilities
  • Added AAC encoder
  • If a device stops playing, the streams currently playing on
    the corresponding sink are switched back to the default sink
  • If a device failes to start playing, streams currently playing on
    the corresponding sink are switched back to the default sink
  • Added Chromecast support (new dependency: python-protobuf)
  • Fixed a bug where the application crashed when there was no suitable encoder found
  • Added the --bit-rate option
  • Added additional headers for DLNA devices
  • Added switch back mode also for sinks, not just for streams (new dependency: python-notify2)
  • Added better logging
  • Validate encoders for installed dependencies
