Audio Player with SONOS playback (v.2.4)

Do you like this Feature? Please support the continuous updates with a little appreciation

What it does not do:

Streaming. Audio Player does not stream using AirPlay or similar
Audio Player does not play the file in the browser when in "SONOS Mode"

What it does do:

All titles need to be stored in a location, which can be reached via SMB from the SONOS controller
The SMB location needs to be available in the SONOS App Music Library section
Audio Player will use the internal location from Nextcloud and hand over the SMB path of that file to the controller
Audio Player will fill the queue of the SONOS controller with the selected playlist/album
Audio Player will act as a remote (start/pause/next/prev/volume up/volume down) to your SONOS
SONOS will play all audio on its own

Setup

Nextcloud => Settings => Personal => Audio Player
Select one of your players from the dropdown
The SMB path to the audio files needs to be entered. This needs to be the location of the folder which is linked in External Storage

example:

all files are located at qnap/Multimedia/iTunes/Music/
Nextcloud External Storage is set up to this path with the folder name Party
Nextcloud files app shows your music as e.g. /Party/Album1/1.mp3
=> the input path needs to be qnap/Multimedia/iTunes/Music/

Problem Analysis

reopen personal settings and verify that the controller & path is saved
within Audio Player, select open the sidebar for a file via "…"
Select the SONOS tabview (only visible when in SONOS mode)
verify the shown combined link if the path is correct
