Log into DSM and in Package Installer, install the downloaded spk.

It at least appears to be working correctly, assuming it continues to work a bit better after the media scan is complete.

I’ve tried lying down in a darkened room without success.This one wasn’t completely obvious, but I think I’ve managed to figure it out. I’m new to much of this so would welcome any suggestions for solving this problem. Selecting SMB1 in Plex appears to make no difference so the system is currently set to SMB2/SMB3. The router is a BT Home Hub 6.0A and think the Server and SONOS Devices are on the same network.

The home network does not have remote access enabled. Ideally I’d also like to be able to play music simultaneously on several SONOS speakers but for now just being able to play on one of them would be good.

This is the case on all the laptops and Apple Devices.Īfter much online searching,reading and experimenting, I am still unable to solve the problem of how to use Plex to play music from a Synology NAS on our SONOS system. However there seems to be an issue with connectivity between the Plex Media Server and SONOS.Īlthough clicking the play icon at the right hand side of Plex’s top toolbar enables one of the several SONOS speakers to be selected from a dropdown list, a ‘Playback Error’ appears when ‘Play’ is clicked. All the devices can access the music on the NAS using the Plex Media Server and play that music on the devices’ own internal speakers. I have also installed Plex Media Server on the Synology NAS and have installed Plex on the laptops and Apple Devices. I have added the associated ‘Music Library’ to SONOS without difficulty and can now use the SONOS App on our laptops and Apple Devices to play music from that Library without any issues. I am now in the process of populating the Synology DS418Play NAS recently added to the home network with our CD collection, etc.

Our SONOS One System can be controlled using the SONOS App either from our laptops or Apple Devices.
