    Is that the only error message? If you got a traceback, please post the full text of the traceback – Wayne Werner May 04 '15 at 17:07
  • thanks for your comment, i think it got error because function `play_uri` only recevice a `uri` not a 'path'. it show message 'not correct format'.I tried to get `uri` from a music file on computer but not success. – tuanph May 05 '15 at 09:54

The uri you provide has to be in the Sonos upnp format. The play_uri() action is run on your Sonos device, not on your PC, so it has no access to your local C: drive.

Play something using the Sonos app, and then use Python soco to look at the running device to get its uri as seen from the Sonos device.

sonos = SoCo('192.168.1.102')
sonos.get_current_track_info()

This will return a dict that includes the uri. Plug that uri in to your play_uri call.

Here are some uri's that work for me. The first is the Radio Paradise station, which should work for you. The second is an album I have on my NAS, which gives you an idea of how to play a specific cut remotely. The cut must be indexed in your Sonos music library.

sonos.play_uri('aac://http://stream-uk1.radioparadise.com/aac-320')
sonos.play_uri('x-file-cifs://192.168.1.222/SDCard_Volume1/Brian%20Eno/Thursday%20Afternoon/01.%20Thursday%20Afternoon%20(61-minute%20version).mp3')
