sonoscli ~ Sonos Command Line Interface

Posted by tom2tec on

sonoscli is a modern Go CLI to control Sonos speakers over your local network (UPnP/SOAP).

Features:

  • Reliable discovery: SSDP + topology (ZoneGroupTopology.GetZoneGroupState) with subnet scan fallback.
  • Coordinator-aware control: target any room; commands go to the group coordinator automatically.
  • Playback controls: play/pause/stop/next/prev, plus play-uri, linein, and tv.
  • Grouping: inspect groups, join/unjoin, party mode, dissolve groups, and solo a room.
  • Queue: list/play/remove/clear queue entries.
  • Favorites: list and play Sonos Favorites by index or title.
  • Scenes: save/apply presets (grouping + per-room volume/mute).
  • Spotify:
    • Enqueue/play Spotify share links or canonical URIs (no Spotify credentials required).
    • Search Spotify via SMAPI (Sonos Music API; uses your linked service in Sonos).
    • Optional Spotify Web API search (client credentials) if you want it.
  • YouTube handoff: resolve a YouTube URL with yt-dlp and hand the direct audio stream to Sonos.
  • Smart URL streaming: play-url runs a short-lived local MP3 proxy for YouTube, YouTube Music playlists, podcasts, radio streams, SoundCloud-style pages, and other URLs.
  • Live events: watch subscribes to AVTransport + RenderingControl and prints changes.
  • Scriptable output: --format plain|json|tsv plus --debug tracing.

This is not an official Sonos project.

Local Audio Broadcast ~ Stream Windows Audio

Posted by tom2tec on

This simple application captures the local audio playback in Windows and sends it over the local network to a UPnP renderer. I originally wrote it to stream Spotify music playback from my computer over the home network to my HTPC running XBMC/Kodi (since I wasn’t satisfied with the available Spotify plugins), it can be used for any audio though.

LMS Plugins ~ Extend Logitech Media Server

Posted by tom2tec on

LMS is an open source multi-room audio system. It was created by SlimDevices and then acquired by Logitech. Although Logitech has ended development of hardware devices, the project is still very active with lots of plugin released regularly. New hardware players can be added using PI devices and DAC boards to build high-quality multi-room systems.

I’ve created some extra plugins, especially to include new standard hardware / players to the LMS ecosystem: UPnP/DLNA (Sonos), ChromeCast and AirPlay.

Volumio ~ Headless Audiophile Player

Posted by tom2tec on

Volumio is an headless audiophile music player, designed to play music with the highest possible fidelity. Volumio runs on most embedded devices (Raspberry Pi, UDOO, Odroid, Cubieboard, Beaglebone, Pine64, Allo Sparky…) and on any ordinary PC (x86).

Volumio is a free and open source Linux distribution, designed and fine-tuned exclusively for music playback. It runs on a variety of devices, typically small and inexpensive computers like the Raspberry PI, but also on low power PCs, notebooks or thin clients.

By flashing (installing) Volumio on any of these platforms, it will then become an headless audiophile music player. Headless means that the only way to control it will be with another mobile phone, computer or tablet.

This is made possible by Volumio’s User Interface: a web applications that runs on any device with a browser, and that allows for an easy and intuitive control of your playback sessions. All communications between the web app and Volumio will happen through your home network.
