Troubleshooting

sonos discover - no route to host

• On error Error: write udp4 0.0.0.0:64326->239.255.255.250:1900: sendto: no route to host
  • The port number after 0.0.0.0: is ephemeral and will change
  • The sendto: no route to host should stay consistent
• Advise the user that Local Network permissions may need to be enabled for the host parent process
• An alternative option is to use a sandbox (docker container) with network access allowed

sonos discover - bind: operation not permitted

• On error Error: listen udp4 0.0.0.0:0: bind: operation not permitted
• Advise the user that they may be running via a sandbox that does not permit network access
