Hi O, Well - I haven't done anything much yet apart from loading the new theme but I have to say it is visually superb. :D You've obviously spent a lot of time on this . It imported just fine - now just got to set my zones up correctly. Very impressed, K [edit] All zoned up now and seems fine. Great...

The re-connect fix seems to work :-)

Thanks Osler - I'll get those updated. No rush at all on the themes - I'm just a little stuck as to how to do the ZP name substitutions for the zones in some of the functions but I have loads to play with at the moment. One other aspect - when a ZP is linked and not the master then it doesn't return...

Hi Osler, Just to let you know that unfortunately I don't think the disconnect issue was fixed. I have left the system overnight two nights now and in both cases the realtime updates have ceased although the scripts are still showing running , I removed all msgbox lines of course. Is there a way to ...

I've got another possibility as to why disconnects might happen - or at least why the script might stop. I have a Napster album in my library but a couple of the tracks on that album won't stream . They come up with 'a valid license could not be obtained' and the Sonos skips on to the next track. I ...

I think at the time that the script is started then HB should just synch with the Sonos hardware states and not change anything . Thereafter they will stay in synch anyway won't they ?

I guess that error prorogation fix has fixed something too. Seems to work well now anyway :-)

Found an issue - moving back from Pandora to other services or local content now doesn't update the cover images ... re-running the script does although it alters volumes/transport state - or maybe this was a disconnect - blast I didn't check. K <edit> Ahh I think it's clearing the queue (from the H...

Just trying these out Osler. Did you perhaps fix something else as I am seeing album art now from Pandora and the script isn't stopping :-) ? The msgboxes tend to make Sonos stop playing so I'm looking to see if there's a HouseBot writelog api call - or maybe I'll log them to a text file if I do see...

Hi Osler, I know you weren't able to actually test this as you are on holiday but it unfortunately doesn't seem to fix it. The script becomes stopped once you select Pandora. I thought it was the unescapeing but it's nothing that simple. It may be to do with the next track being 'unknown' on Pandora...

Sorry you have now :-) and I sent you a Pandora image URL which is just an external reference. Not sure if there's something you'd prefer to do to recover this internally from the Sonos - which must have retrieved it.

K

Is there anything I can do to look at the art URL format that Pandora is returning compared to that returned by Rhapsody/Napster ? I'm having a play with some msgbox entries ATM.

I have sent you a PM with my direct email address - dont want to clog the forum up here on trial code...

Yes - Rhapsody artwork works fine - but Pandora's doesn't. The music info does update from Pandora though. I just saw a Napster zone go to [no music] on the Sonos controller but at the time it was actually playing and I was navigating the queue using your theme. So not sure why this happened , stran...

I haven't had any success in the import , I guess I have to create images for all the players now /next but that's not a problem I can happily wait until you return as I'm using my own theme mostly. BTW Is this Nokia theme the first one you have released supporting multiple players ? I think it's th...

Hi Osler, This looks interesting :-) I had a go at the import but it failed with.. Unable to find file [Family Room NextPlaying.jpg] in import archive Error processing additional files in the Import Configuration. Import has been abandoned. I had placed the Sonos Images folder in the correct place. ...

Anders ... please can you give me an alternative email address as the one you used is failing (non deliverable)

Send me another email ... Kevin
