- Plex is running as a homeassistant addon
- I have all of my plex music in the /media folder within the “plex” subfolder
- The Plex library is configured to use this /media/plex/Music folder
- I can browse the local media .mp3 and .flac files in the media browser (NOT choosing plex)
- If I play any of the files that both homeassistant and plex have access to on a sonos device, it will stream the file as long as it’s supported (no plex transcoding since it’s not playing via plex)
It’s just really stupid that either Plex or sonos (lets be honest it’s probably Plex), seems to require a cloud connection to send the media Up into the internet to Sonos’s servers, then back down to my Sonos Speaker so that it can access a URL on a server that’s 25 feet away.
