Sonos stops after CQC restart

[batwater]

Dean,

I don't know if this has been brought up before and is already on the list but regardless Sonos playback stops whenever CQC is restarted.  This shouldn't happen. Something about the driver startup not only stops what's currently playing but it wipes out what was selected.  In other words it takes each Sonos unit back to a state as if it had been power cycled (unplugged since there is no on/off switch on a Sonos)  Please consider adding to your list investigating and addressing this issue.

Let me know if there is anything you need from me to look at this.

Thanks in advance!

Is this using our media renderer driver or the Zone Player driver? The media renderer would because it maintains the playlist. If it restarts it has no playlist and so it's getting the player back in sync with the driver.

If it's the Zone Player I think it does it for a somewhat similar reason in this case getting the player into a known state so that the driver knows that it and the player are in the same state. After that it will see events from the box and can follow along with the state of the device. That seemed necessary at the time, so as to not to have to wait in order to get into sync. Maybe it's a little overkill, I'd have to go back and look at it.
