Couldn't connect my sonos device with the controller.

[Arjun2991]

Here's what I did:

--Connected the sonos speaker using ethernet cable.
--Connected my mac using wifi on the same network on which the speaker is connected.
--Started the nodejs app using terminal.

it keeps on throwing the error:

sonos-http-api@1.2.6 start /Users/adixit/Downloads/node-sonos-http-api-master
node server.js

Please note IP address of the sonos speaker is 192.168.2.103

when I connect my MAC with the ethernet cable it throws the following error after starting the server :

When I remove ethernet cable from both my mac or sonos the server starts but it says :

{"status":"error","error":"No system has yet been discovered. Please see #77 if it doesn't resolve itself in a few seconds."}

Please I need help to get my hands on using the services, also I need to make my own music streaming services on sonos any help regarding this would be highly appreciated.

Looking forward for some helpful replies.

Thanks,
Arjun

You need to provide a description of your network setup, something fishy is going on, it seems to "discover" the players, which means multicast/broadcast works, but it seems to translate the IP for some reason and/or block the TCP traffic to the player. Either the firewall in MacOS is blocking you out for some reason, but it also sounds like you have some networking equipment that interferes with your traffic.

If you tell me which router/firewall/wifi equipment you are using, it might shed some light on the matter. If you have a player with multiple network jacks (play:5, connect or connect:amp), try wring the player, and then daisy-chain your computer into it, to see if that works. If that works, it's your network that acts up. If it doesn't work, it's the computer (and it's builtin firewall or something) that is giving your trouble.

Thanks for the quick reply jishi,

however I was able to connect the device using a trick:

• play song from the android app
• kill the android app
• run the nodejs app
• and it connects successfully.

Please, let me know how I can I create a streaming service on nodejs.

Thanks for you help again

Sounds odd, but whatever works for you.

Not sure what you mean with a streaming service, and it sounds like it is outside of scope for this project?
