Streaming to Sonos PLAY:1 Media Renderer does not work

[sschuberth]

When streaming to my single PLAY:1 "UPnP/DLNA Media Renderer" as described I get the error

Unable to play 'swyh.mp3' - the song is not encoded correctly.

Also see this post and others from the forum.

Interestingly, it works via "HTTP Live Streaming" when adding SWYH as a radio station to Sonos as described here. However, as that requires slightly more work, streaming via DLNA would be more convenient.

So I guess the question boils down to: What is differnet between the MP3 encodings used via DLNA vs HTTP streaming?

I have similar software for Linux and we found that Sonos devices need x-rincon-mp3radio:// instead of http:// for live stream urls
