I'd also be more than willing to BETA test! 

I only have one ZP90 at the moment but the driver would be a great excuse to add an extra zone or 2  Smiley

How does Sonos work as far as selecting music sources? I'm primarily interested in the Line Inputs.

It would be sweet if you can select the inputs directly from the driver without having to scroll through the available line inputs. The reason I want this was in hope that we could turn a local TV with RTI and use the driver to select the line in source. This way it's more automated.

Yep you can simply select the line-in input via a single driver call.

Progress is indeed being made.  I'm currently struggling with a bug that stops any more than 4 albums by the same artist from being returned.

Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my XP-6 to see what impact it makes on the operational speed of the driver.

Yes, I heard that from our customers as well! Faster than the XP-8, much faster! Wink
Matt, did you get your controllers yet? Huh

I did indeed.  I have an xp6 on my test bench now.  Sonos is not playing nice with the xp6 though... we're still investigating why.

I already posted this over at the RTI forums, but just in case:

So the show went well.  The My Device team didn't arrive until midday on the first day which meant we couldn't work our magic and get Sonos going until the following morning before the show opened to the public.

At Cedia we had the following wired up and working:

    Zone Information
    Play/Pause
    Skip Next/Previous
    Volume control with feedback
    Coverart
    Track name/album/artist feedback
    Next queued track/album feedback
    Power events


The power event is pretty cool (if i do say so myself).  When a zone starts playing the XP processor triggers a power on event so you can fire up an amp etc.  You set the off event as the number of seconds that must elapse in paused mode.  So if playback stops (end of queued items) or someone hits pause a timer starts.  If playback doesn't resume within the timeout specified we signal a power off event.  Thus you can shut down the amp when the kids hit pause and never come back.

So if you picked up the iPad with the native Sonos software running on it and changed the song or volume, or even zone name it would instantly reflect on the K4.

So, what's left to do...  well for the initial release i'd like to get track position working.  That is, update a status bar with the current song position.  Sonos doesn't do this natively so i need to track it internally.

Once that's done i'll be sending out the first copies to the beta testers.

If you would like to help beta test, please send an email to:

sonos@no.spam.mydevice.com.au (remove the no.spam. part!)

Cheers,
Matt.
