So I fire up Wireshark and filter by my SONOS ip address. Reverse Engineering of SONOS desktop application.Īs a start, I choose to study the SONOS desktop application in order to better understand the involved protocol and specifications for music switching, new radio, volume up / down, etc. In our path of digging into the SONOS system, we'll discover exotic audio format, interesting stream management techniques, and how we can abuse innocent features, "for fun and profit". So, "How do we play YouTube videos on a SONOS ?". YouTube is a big place for finding music, especially old live concert, or forgotten songs. Even if YouTube videos are publicly available and their content are free, SONOS can't play them without the use of YouTube Music which is not cool. So, that take us to the subject of playing YouTube videos. Unfortunately, this is not available to Android / PC devices. In old days you could also use your SONOS combined with an iOS device and their Airplay technology, that allowed you to stream whatever sound come from your device, YouTube videos included. You can technically use your SONOS to play local music from your device, I found the experience not satisfying at all. As you probably already know it, using a music provider with your SONOS speaker is big part of the product experience. Problem of using SONOS products, is the "music provider" as a requirement. You pull it out of the box, connect it to your network, setup it with your music provider and that's it ! Parts of this success are that SONOS provide affordable, high quality, and easy to use products. SONOS has been growing in popularity and user base last years and there is a high probability that you already used it. SONOS is a brand of connected speakers that allow users on the network listen to music that they can choose using the SONOS specific Android / iOS application, or 3d party services with monthly subscription like Deezer / Spotify / YouTube Music from their local network.
