Hey up Guys

I installed the Sonos module about 18 months ago, and for the life of me, i cannot remember the steps. ( not sure if it was the Snille one, but think he maybe took it over? )

I’ve wiped my Pi3 and started afresh… got most of the modules working okay… but the Sonos one is proving hard work.

Ive read the file, but cannot see where to link it up to my Sonos speakers… and not only that, it wont show in MM, despite adding it to the config…

Can I ask any member here using this, give me a quick run down from the point it downloads into the MM folder… incase I have missed an obvious step?
Was there an API i need to add? I cannot see a mention of this? Or how to direct the Module to my speakers?

Also, if you can, please include what your entry into the config is… so i can compare mines.

Thanks in advance for any assistance on this.

Thanks soo much for that… got it, and it is as you say - better, and easier… so straight forward it was a breeze.

I think this has thrown up an unseen problem though?
I tried setting it bottom-centre… but it never showed
I then tried - bottom-left, and it showed perfect! Any ideas?

Have you left yours as is, or did you play about customising it CSS? As in making it smaller, or making the Album Art part larger…or doing anything else to it?

Would like to see the CSS of yours to see what can be done.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

@johnnyboy I have bottom left and it worked well …
I think this is hard coded…i don’t know how to do some changes sorry

Yeah I changed to bottom left and it showed… it must have a problem with bottom centre?

I then had to move it to bottom right as another module above got in the way and covered part of it, so it works there too.

But hey, it works, and works great… even without any bells and whistles.

Thanks for your time letting me know about this one. …

@johnnyboy Hi, do you know how to set the moving text (Titel / Artist) in a static text?
my fan of my Mac mini go’s up when something is moving on my screen

Sorry, no.
Since you said it was hard coded, I never bothered to play about with it.
but I turned on Mirror the other day and it is not showing anymore, so will need to find time to perhaps download it again.
