Track and Artist information not showing correctly using new BBC Sounds Sonos service

[ashenshugarRET]

The BBC in the UK have released a new Sonos service to stream their radio stations directly to Sonos speakers. The album artworks perfectly but the artist and track information is not rendering correctly, the song title is always showing as "Type=sng" and the artist is always showing as "Br P". Reviewing the JSON data from the node-http-sonos-api below seems to indicate this is due to the formatting used for the title parameter [ { "uuid": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "coordinator": { "uuid": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "state": { "volume": 16, "mute": false, "equalizer": { "bass": 0, "treble": 0, "loudness": true }, "currentTrack": { "artist": "Radio 2", "title": "BR P|TYPE=SNG|TITLE Twisting By The Pool|ARTIST Dire Straits|ALBUM", "albumArtUri": "https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/640x640/p01bqgwt.jpg", "duration": 0, "uri": "x-sonosapi-hls:stations%7eplayable%7e%7ebbc_radio_two%7e%7eurn%3abbc%3aradio%3anetwork%3abbc_radio_two?sid=325&flags=288&sn=10", "trackUri": "x-sonosapi-hls:stations%7eplayable%7e%7ebbc_radio_two%7e%7eurn%3abbc%3aradio%3anetwork%3abbc_radio_two?sid=325&flags=288&sn=10", "type": "radio", "stationName": "Radio 2", "absoluteAlbumArtUri": "https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/640x640/p01bqgwt.jpg" }, "nextTrack": { "artist": "", "title": "", "album": "", "albumArtUri": "", "duration": 0, "uri": "" }, "trackNo": 1, "elapsedTime": 444, "elapsedTimeFormatted": "00:07:24", "playbackState": "PLAYING", "playMode": { "repeat": "none", "shuffle": false, "crossfade": false } }, "roomName": "Office", "coordinator": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "groupState": { "volume": 16, "mute": false } }, "members": [ { "uuid": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "state": { "volume": 16, "mute": false, "equalizer": { "bass": 0, "treble": 0, "loudness": true }, "currentTrack": { "artist": "Radio 2", "title": "BR P|TYPE=SNG|TITLE Twisting By The Pool|ARTIST Dire Straits|ALBUM", "albumArtUri": "https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/640x640/p01bqgwt.jpg", "duration": 0, "uri": "x-sonosapi-hls:stations%7eplayable%7e%7ebbc_radio_two%7e%7eurn%3abbc%3aradio%3anetwork%3abbc_radio_two?sid=325&flags=288&sn=10", "trackUri": "x-sonosapi-hls:stations%7eplayable%7e%7ebbc_radio_two%7e%7eurn%3abbc%3aradio%3anetwork%3abbc_radio_two?sid=325&flags=288&sn=10", "type": "radio", "stationName": "Radio 2", "absoluteAlbumArtUri": "https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/640x640/p01bqgwt.jpg" }, "nextTrack": { "artist": "", "title": "", "album": "", "albumArtUri": "", "duration": 0, "uri": "" }, "trackNo": 1, "elapsedTime": 444, "elapsedTimeFormatted": "00:07:24", "playbackState": "PLAYING", "playMode": { "repeat": "none", "shuffle": false, "crossfade": false } }, "roomName": "Office", "coordinator": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "groupState": { "volume": 16, "mute": false } } ] } ]

@jjlawren Can the code in sonos_user_data.py be updated to correctly render the artist and track information for BBC radio station streaming through the Sonos Service?

Thanks
