Play scheduled media through Sonos


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

What I'm trying to achieve is to play a media file through a property using Sonos. The property is large, and it has let's say 8 Sonos Amps in different parts. 

Client would like to play this file everyday at a scheduled time. That's all good. 

What I've tried: 

- Played the file on a selected Sonos and Group the speakers together. - Problem is speakers don't stay grouped. 

- I tried creating a "scene" with speakerscenes.com, however need to activate it (which requires a http command to run - couldn't find anything like that to be triggered from C4 Programming)

- I tried creating a Media Scene in C4, it activates in random speeds, so often messes up the playback. 

- I tried the Auto Power Room, and Override Room options in the Sonos Driver it worked twice since then it doesn't. 

- I tried firing all speakers individually which actually worked somewhat well, but as soon as it reaches the 6th 7th speakers in the programming it doesn't fire anymore. C4 said it's because it's a limitation of programming in C4, however i've seen and wrote myself as well lengthy programming scripts. 

 

I'm wondering if i'm overcomplicating it...

Please try to comment only if you have any insight or ideas. Comments of Sonos is crap, and why don't you buy this and that, is not an option here.

 

Thanks guys
