Is it me, or is the latest Sonos mobile app a giant piece of $#!+? What used to take me 10 seconds to play a song or station I like now seems to take 6x as long. I don't understand how they could have fscked it up so badly.

in reply to BrianKrebs • • •I wanted my Apple TV remote to control the sound coming out of my Sonos and also correctly display the volume on my TV as it changed. Due to limitations in hacky eARC, etc that required me to use to use a then video processor to redirect audio from the TV while leaving the internal speakers active. The ATV controls the TV volume, and a RPi queries the TV’ss volume over HTTP then syncs it to the Sonos.
It used to seem hacky and unreliable, now it seems more reliable then the app.

1. He doesn't really care and only speaks human after an uproar
2. The headphones no one asked for and which I have seen precisely zero of in the wild need the new app

in reply to BrianKrebs • • •there's a rumor that they'll be going back to the old app for now.
considering they just fired a bunch of folks, i don't expect the new app to get fixed quickly.
