I’ll have a look if I can see anything Linux specific, but won’t promise anything since I don’t have any Windows system myself to verify against.

Hey @Seaside, any luck with look over for windows? im happy to be the ginny pig and test it out if needed 
There is nothing Linux specific in the addon anymore. You could test installing latest version of jrule (download jar file and place in addons folder), then install this addon. Chances are that it works.
@Seaside
i cant see any jar files that are from the last 3 months. only ones i can find are from 9th april
This error has to do with JRule not jrule-sonos. It might be fixed already. Can you test with the latest release of Jrule?
just tried the jars.(jrule-4.x.x-BETA21.jar in addons and jrule-sonos in openhab\conf\automation\jrule\rules-jar\jrule-sonos-alpha4.jar) but as i said. the jars in github for both are from back in april. before i posted the issue.
still getting the same issue as before.

now that i see it and you have said it. it is with jrule not jrule-sonos the the errors are coming from. i will move the issue to the right git and post then
I have a text based installation, running openhab 4.2.2 and installed JRule and the jar-file alpha4.

I have several Sonos devices, and some are Offline (when the socket is without power), Sonos Thing “Port Wohnen2” is one of those.
No items or rules seem to be created, how can I further debug what is not working?
Can the items and rules alternativly be manually created, and how would an example for one Sonos Box look like?
