Hi, any idea why Flow via sonos won't let you fast forward or rewind or rewind through a track?

If you browse or pick out tracks or play from your favourites it's fine. The little dot that you can drag back and forward on the timer bar will be there for your put your finger on.

But if the track playing is via Flow, the little dot won't be there for you to hold and drag.

I have a Samsung s10+ playing on a Sonos Five, if it makes any difference.

Only seems to be an issue via the Sonos app.

I believe that Deezer are working on enabling their app to play directly on Sonos. Sooner the better!

Thanks.

Sorry that i have no good news…

Since flow was integrated on Sonos it was never possible to fast forward or rewind within a track.
Imho there must be a technical problem for the devs to integrate this on the Sonos interface. But don‘t know why.

What i can say is that it must have to do something with the kind of queue. If queue is filled by an album or playlist everything is fine. But if it‘s a mix, and flow is based on mixes technique, it doesn‘t seem to be possible.
If you like to start a typical Deezer mix on Sonos (with the new Deezer design on Sonos that has started this month mixes have gone from your Deezer favorites menu on Sonos) by using the Sonos search funktion (for example search for „pop“) and select „stations“ at the top, you will find Deezer mixes.
Start a mix and you will find out it‘s the same like with flow. 😟

I would love to have the full functionality for flow and mixes on Sonos too, but it seems to be impossible at the moment.
So let‘s hope that Deezer direct control for Sonos is coming as soon as possible.
