Physical preset buttons trigger requests, but playback never starts (/streaming/sourceproviders and /streaming/device/<id>/streaming_token return 404)

[skalizzo]

Hi, thanks for this project — I managed to get my SoundTouch 20 redirected to SoundCork, and the speaker clearly talks to my local server, but presets still do not start playback.

Setup
Device: Bose SoundTouch 20
Firmware: 27.0.6
SoundCork running on Raspberry Pi using Docker Compose
Speaker successfully redirected by editing SoundTouchSdkPrivateCfg.xml
Miniapp works and shows device + presets correctly
Physical preset button presses on the speaker generate requests to SoundCork
What works
SSH enable works
Redirect to local SoundCork works
Miniapp dashboard loads correctly
Device and presets are visible in the dashboard
Pressing a physical preset button clearly triggers requests from the speaker
What does not work
Neither of these starts playback:

pressing a physical preset button on the speaker
selecting a preset from the SoundCork dashboard / miniapp
In both cases, the speaker does not start playing audio.

Logs when pressing preset buttons
The most relevant requests I consistently see are:

text
GET /streaming/sourceproviders HTTP/1.1 -> 404
GET /streaming/device/08DF1F23E9C6/streaming_token HTTP/1.1 -> 404
POST /v1/scmudc/08DF1F23E9C6 HTTP/1.1 -> 200
POST /v1/scmudc/08DF1F23E9C6 HTTP/1.1 -> 200
I also sometimes see:

text
POST /streaming/support/power_on HTTP/1.1 -> 404
GET /v1/blacklist/08DF1F23E9C6 HTTP/1.1 -> 404
Speaker user agent:

text
Bose_Lisa/27.0.6
Dashboard behavior
The miniapp/dashboard correctly shows:

my account
my SoundTouch 20 device
all 6 presets
However, clicking/selecting a preset in the dashboard also does not start playback on the speaker.

Preset details
Originally my preset 1 was a LOCAL_INTERNET_RADIO preset pointing to a Bose Orion-style URL like this:

xml


Deutschlandfunk



I also tried rewriting the preset based on the workaround described in issue #312 / related comments, i.e. using:

xml

with base64 encoded JSON containing:

station name
image URL
direct stream URL
But playback behavior remained the same.

Additional observations
/sources works, but does not include RADIO_BROWSER
/serviceAvailability works, but does not include RADIO_BROWSER
I also tried adding RADIO_BROWSER manually to Sources.xml, but it still did not show up in /sources or /serviceAvailability
The speaker definitely reaches SoundCork and uses it instead of Bose cloud
Question
Is this expected / a current limitation?

From the logs it looks like preset selection is detected correctly, but playback fails because SoundCork returns 404 for endpoints that seem required by the speaker before actual playback starts:

/streaming/sourceproviders
/streaming/device//streaming_token
possibly /streaming/support/power_on
Do these endpoints require extra setup, or are they currently not implemented for this preset use case?

If helpful, I can provide:

sanitized Presets.xml
sanitized Sources.xml
docker-compose.yml
full logs

Just to make sure, are the requests coming in to /streaming/sourceproviders or to /marge/streaming/sourceproviders? If it's the former, then you need to change your margeServerUrl to go to, for instance, http://soundcork.local:8000/marge rather than http://soundcork.local:8000.

Sorry, have to run out for a few hours, but hopefully that's the problem.

(Side note: it's probably safer to create and edit a /mnt/nv/OverrideSdkPrivateCfg.xml file rather than editing the actual /opt/Bose/etc/SoundTouchSdkPrivateCfg.xml file. A bad edit of the latter can cause a reboot spiral that requires a firmware reinstall to fix.)

Quick update: I fixed the margeServerUrl so that it now points to:

http://192.168.178.25:8000/marge

This changed the behavior significantly.

Before that, the speaker requested:

• /streaming/sourceproviders
• /streaming/device//streaming_token

and got 404s.

Now the speaker correctly requests:

• /marge/streaming/sourceproviders -> 200
• /marge/streaming/device/MYDEVICENUMBER/streaming_token -> 200
• /marge/streaming/account/MYACCOUNTNR/full -> 200
• /marge/streaming/account/MYACCOUNTNR/provider_settings -> 200
• /marge/streaming/support/power_on -> 200

So the /marge path issue is resolved.

However, playback still does not start:

• pressing a physical preset button on the speaker does nothing audible
• selecting the same preset from the SoundCork dashboard also does nothing on the speaker

I also verified that preset 1 is identical in both places:

• on the speaker: /mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/Presets.xml
• in SoundCork datastore: data/MYACCOUNTNR/Presets.xml

The preset is a LOCAL_INTERNET_RADIO preset using the Orion-style URL format pointing to my SoundCork instance on port 8000.

At this point it looks like:

• the speaker reaches the correct SoundCork endpoints
• the preset data is synchronized
• but neither physical preset activation nor dashboard selection causes actual playback

Out of curiosity, since I am struggling with the same issue: You write that:

I also verified that preset 1 is identical in both places:
on the speaker: /mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/Presets.xml
in SoundCork datastore: data/MYACCOUNTNR/Presets.xml

But is it the same because you manually copied edited Presets.xml to your speaker, or is it the same because the speaker manages to fetch Presets.xml from your Soundcork server?

PS. Please check my Issue #312 again, I have resolved it, and maybe some final advice therein will help you as well. I am attaching my Presets.xml with my server URL redacted, change it to yours and give it a try. :-)

Existing orion data adapter presets using absolute urls can be fixed by running
sed -i 's|http.*/core02/svc-bmx-adapter-orion/prod/orion||g' Presets.xml

Than use location="/station?data=..."
I use a script to select/play custom radio streams like this:

# radio_stream https://icecast.walmradio.com:8443/classic
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<status>/select</status>

In case you just use the bmx orion data API you could avoid running an extra service by using SoundPloy instead.

Thanks a lot for your help! It is working now. I think my preset file has been a little misconfigured.

It is working now.

Why don't you close this issue then?
