As you may have read by now, HS3 has been made available under NDA to developers.
I'm currently converting the Sonos PI to work under HS3. The good news is that HS3 provides some interesting new capabilities which should allow me to build more dynamic web control pages. The bad news is that I don't really see a way to automatically convert the HS2 settings to HS3, at least not all of it.
I'm confident I'll be able to port over your linkgroup settings, all your other Sonos PI settings, but the events/actions and devices will have to be recreated. It shouldn't be too much of a problem but unfortunately it won't be without some of your assistance.
So given that the user interface in HS3 is somewhat different, it does provide an opportunity to make some changes and not worry about backward compatibility. I wanted to post the question here on what you would like to see different or added. Note, the question is about the interaction of you or your script towards this plug-in. I can't design in new features that Sonos doesn't support like navigating content on paid services.
So use this thread to post things that you like and for sure would like not to see change, or things that you miss or don't like and would like to see change or added. One of the questions I'm mulling over is whether I should create more devices per player or less. Currently there are two per player.
Please add your comments, any comments are appreciated but if possible also state why that is important to you or how that would make your life better.
Cheers and happy new-year!
