You can use: - UPnPBridge : will transform your Sonos into to LMS player so that you can use it from iPeng and all LMS-related solutions (no sync with othe rLMS boxes) - ShairTunes2W will let you use your iXXX devices and control any LMS device (include the "bridged" ones above) as if they were AirPlay players These 2 are plugins I maintain and are available in the plugin list. Because transforming a Sonos to a LMS device and then using another converter to make it an AirPlay can sometimes lead to slow response, or might not give you a perfect stability, you can use - AirSonos: will transform directly Sonos devices into AirPlay devices (no need of LMS in the mix) so that you can use as well natively your iXXX devices. This requires more tinkering for installation, but you can get it to work on a Pi (I'm using it). See http://airsonos.stephenwan.net/ With this combination, you should have exactly what you want LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2. Sonos 2xPLAY:1, PLAY:3, PLAY:5, Marantz NR1603, JBL OnBeat, XBMC, Foobar2000, XBoxOne, JRiver 21, Chromecast Audio, Chromecast v1, Pi B2, Pi B+, 2xPi A+, Odroid-C1, Cubie2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philippe_44's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106922 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
