Roon backup: issue with Sonos [fix pending]

just triggered a Roon backup while music was playing on my Sonos system -> streaming from Qobuz using Sonos application <-

playback stopped and play queue was cleared :confused:

ok, letā€™s tag this @support to see if a fix is foreseeable :wink:

I poked at this a little, itā€™s basically the same problem as this: Music stops (Sonos) when Roon control device is closed or loses connectivty [fix in for next build]

There should be a fix in our next build, whenever that is.

thank you @ben

not sure though itā€™s the same issue
I meanā€¦ Iā€™m fine with playback stopping when Roon takes a snapshot before backup. what Iā€™d like to possibly having fixed isā€¦ Roon also clearing Sonosā€™ playback queue

From my point of view, the problem in both cases is ā€œRoon doesnā€™t check whether itā€™s actually playing to Sonos before doing the work of ending a stream (stop, clear queue, some other stuff)ā€. Thereā€™s no reason for Roon to do anything to the Sonos device if itā€™s not actually playing.

Iā€™ve tested my fix with the Sonos app, it seems to work.
