I noticed that if the theater is in use and the current AV transport UI is “x-sonos-htastream:RINCON_XXXXX:spdif”, the say() commands don’t play, though I don’t see any issues in the log.
if the playbar is in any other mode it seems to work fine.
Known problem.
I tried to fix it at a time but without success. Difficult without owning one Playbar. Someone with a Playbar should have a look to the code and debug.
@Mike_Bagdanoff : I will try to fix this issue. First I added new logs.
Have you the skill to deploy a test version of the binding ?
A test version is available in this PR https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/6719#issuecomment-450633848
You will have to enable the DEBUG logs for the Sonos binding: log:set DEBUG org.eclipse.smarthome.binbding.sonos
I expect these logs when you send a notification:
Handling notification while sound from line-in was being played
Restoring sound from line-in using xxxx
I only have the PLAY1’s and AMP’s in my house and I downloaded and installed the GITHUB 0.11 version today. I did it for another reason than the new devices it handles; I’m running OH 2.3 and I had issues with the “original” version of the Sonos binding with the Sonos firmware version of 9.x. I’m actually running 9.3 now.
I was able to get rid of the THING definitions and use the actual discovered Sonos devices now. This alone was a great step because there was a conflict between the THING defs and discovered devices.
Here’s what is missing running OH 2.3 with the Sonos 0.11 binding version now. I don’t know if it’s because I’m running OH 2.3 or something else?
Controller
Volume
Mute
I had to comment out these since they didn’t exist in the Sonos device items anymore. All the other items existed though.
I am currently trying to fix a similar problem for the Beam.
Maybe the problem is the same for the Playbar. @Mike_Bagdanoff : could you please follow this other topic and provide logs with the test version I am providing ?
When you are playing TV sound, does the Sonos App shows a Stop or Pause button for your Playbar ? Does this button work ?
The problem is fixed for the Beam.
If you want a fix for the Playbar (or Playbase), please provide the same logs as @Maurits28 did using the special version I built with additional logs, just to confirm that the issue is the same as for the Beam (stopping the TV audio is not possible).
