Sonos & multicast relay between vlan [SOLVED]

[digiwiz]

Hello,

I’m very happy with zeroshell. I’m running it for several years, and it rocks!
However, I have a need that I’m not able to find in Zeroshell.
I have a setup with several vlan at home:
vlan6: “secure vlan”
vlan212: adsl1
vlan7: adsl2
vlan8: guest users

I have currently my SONOS speakers that are in the secure vlan zone, it’s working fine with controlers (application that control sonos).
Unfortunatelly when, I use the controller in another vlan, i cant see my sonos speaker.
I found the reason why in Sonos forums: multicast must be routed beetween vlans. I did not find how to do it in zeroshell 🙁

There’s a fix/tool in linux aiming through this GIT:
https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay
Is that something we can integrate in the next release of zeroshell?

Did someone manage to have sonos routing between vlans working already?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for highlighting this issue – the reason why it isn’t working is that the code as it stood wasn’t compatible with Python 3. I’ve pushed a couple of fixes to https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay – let’s see if this now works on zeroshell.

thanks for the debug mode!
let’s try to make it work for zeroshell 🙂

Working!

You can now use this python script to enable multicast on zeroshell vlans !
Therefore Sonos players / speakers will be able to work together even if there’s not in the same subnet!

Thanks Al for the support!
