Hi Erwin,
I am currently testing the sonos-app and noticed a problem with the favorites-part.
I am using an applemusic-playlist as a favorite - when selecting/loading it (gui or through http-commands) nothing happens - starts playing whatever is in queue. I thought it had something to do with the apple-play-list but when using a sonos-playlist as a favorite the same thing happened. Using a radio station as a favorite works fine and loading the same sonos-playlist from the playlists works fine also.
My plan is to use a KNX-trigger to switch between multiple favorites (radio-stations and apple-music-playlist). I want to use apple-music playlists since it is very easy to use itunes for updating and syncing across all apple-devices and sonos. Hope you can figure this one out.
Some other question i have: i want to use my sonos as doorbell and text-to-speech device: so when playing radio/playlist i would like to interrupt the music, either play an mp3 (doorbell) or a generated mp3 (tts using voiceRSS - this is free for 350 messages a day), and continue the music at the point where it was before.
With the radio station this is no issue but with the playlist it is a different story: i would need to store the tracknumber and time-position in the song and restore that after playing the doorbell/generated-mp3. Any ideas on how to do this? (might be usefull for other people also).
Thanks again for all the help,
Bart
