Sonos Controller does not see Subsonic Music Service

[ralfr]

Hi there,

I've set up Subsonic 5.2 (build 4411) - February 23, 2015 on FreeNAS 9.3 and everything works fine except Sonos integration. Both, the FreeNAS and my Sonos system are on the same local network, Sonos BOOST attached to a port on the exact same switch, where the NAS is attached to, so no firewall / NATing or other network level rules interfere. Sonos Controller is on latest Version 5.2.

Any idea? Is this a known issue? Any troubleshooting tips?

One more thing: I looked into the logs and found:

SonosService No Sonos controller found

Seems as if the Subsonic engine cannot see the controller. Any idea what the reason behind this could be?

I have an identical setup...and the same issue.

hi Sindre

Really looking forward to trying this out - sounds like a great answer to one of sonos biggest problems...

So far, i have this problem also...i go to the Sonos controller, and don't find an option to add Subsonic as a Music Service. Is it geolocked in some way, i wonder?

wrote too soon there, the Subsonic Music Service eventually did show up in my Sonos controller.

So, now I have added the drobo with my music on it, i find that there is only 1-2 tracks per folder. I have my music organised in alphabetical folders, within which are artist folders, within which are tracks. I take it from what I've read that this might indeed cause a problem for subsonic... Is that the case?

So were you just waiting with the Sonos app running on your machine and suddenly Subsonic appeared?

[lukeclancy]

yes, pretty much.

but the story doesnt end happily. It worked perfectly for a day, but then, one day, when i looked in the Subsonic music service, the cupboard was bare. No tracks, although the service was there alright, just like before.
I removed and added the service again, but that didnt make my tracks appear again. Anyone?

I was able to at least make the connection by following the walk-trough for connecting Sonos to a remote Subsonic server and just using internal IPs instead of external ones. However, no music showed up when I went to browse.

I've mostly given up messing with trying to get this to work on FreeNAS until I hear if anyone else has this up and running...
