Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/426

The official spotify gui client can see Sonos, but spotify-tui can't detect it. Are there steps or configuration needed for this? My Sonos device is Sonos One, if that matters. Thanks.

spotify-tui uses the spotify web api to fetch available devices (a simple GET request), this could be an issue with their public API

@flipjs you might wanna check again, my Sonos doesn't show up as a restricted device anymore, and the spotify API allows me to control it. This must be pretty new, as I had to use a workaround until 1-2 weeks ago.

Update from me as well, Sonos became a restricted device shortly after I said it wasn't... so it was only usable through the API directly for a short time.

Update on this, Sonos doesn't seem to work due to an expected string coming back as a null; if I have to guess, one of the API messages received is mandatory, and the parsing doesn't like it; Spotify returns the name of the device as I saw it in the error message when music is playing from my Sonos, so most likely some parsing error.
