For example if the phone rings we sometimes use the mute button on S5 to shut the radio off quickly without getting the remote. And because of this, it is sometimes left on mute. Once it is muted then I only way I know how to un-mute it with the plug-in is to use the all zones mute off action. Right now when I use just the Kitchen S5 for an announcement, I have to use the all zones mute off action. This would affect the other zone players if they were muted.

select line-in inputs ?
Downloaded the plug-in just now and giving it a try. Seems to be working fine !
However, unless I am mistaken, I dont see any option allowing one to select line-inputs to feed the zone players.
Homeseer is obviously one such input but I have several other sources connected to various players and I use these sources to feed music to various Zone as I see fit.
I would very much like to specify which line-in input a specific players should play (beside homeseer TTS and stuff from the music library)

Make sure I get it right, you would like to have a button or action item to "play from line-input" for the specified zone, right? Perhaps similar to the options (in web page and event/action screens) -- to select genres or radiostations -- one more option being "Line-input"

Thank you for your quick reply Dirk !
Basically yes...
It could be a button included along with the "Genre", "Tracks", "Artists"... buttons that would be labeled "Line inputs" or something similar.
Pressing that button would then list all the available line inputs connected to the various zone players (including Homeseer) and allow the user to select which one any particular zone player should channel...
(I think this is one of the best feature of Sonos actually : ie listen to any source, aywhere...)
Is that feasible ?

Just posted version .48 (http://board.homeseer.com/showpost.p...45&postcount=1) which supports selecting Line Inputs. Please post if all looks OK.
Thanks

I have a problem initializing the Sonos plugin when HS is running as a Service. When the computer restarts and starts HS service the sonos plugin fails to initialize. Then if I manualy restart only the HS service, the plugin initilizes corectly and I have to enable it. Does anybidy else experience the same behavior of the plugin?

edit: Just tested it on a Vista machine, see no issue w/ running as a service. Suggest you take debug log file.
second edit: just tested it on a win7 machine, see no issue running it as a service

not really sure what to think about this except that HS seems to have no access for some reason to the DLL. Maybe you can check the security file settings for the hspi_sonoscontroller.dll and compare it with other DLL or other files in the same directory (your HS root directory or <hsroot>\bin). Do you have different users configured on that PC? Is HS and the Plugin installed as "for all users" or "admin"?
Can't think of anything else. Maybe a question to be forwarded to the HS guys.
I'll give it some more thought and maybe play with some ACL settings (I do have them turned off on my PCs)

Dirk,
There is only one user account set on the pc and it is administrator, "Require password" is OFF. I can't check the individual plugins security permissions right now. I'll check them tonight. If the permissions are the problem, why it works after restarting the service.
