How to play Facebook Videos on SONOS

Video: How to play Facebook Video on SONOS through code

The story begins when my company Lendbuzz gifted all of us a Sonos One for the Christmas/NewYear Present. Until then I never heard of Sonos.

Went home and the first thing I did was setup Sonos and I was just blown away. It was soo easy to control Sonos by an app and everything was seemless. Since then I am using Sonos daily in my life to listen to music and even Youtube videos.

Lately I am listening some music videos on Facebook and there was no way to play it on Sonos. So I decided to make something for myself.

If you want to do the same, watch the video and clone the following git repository:
/pranjalsingi/sonos-media-player

If you are feeling challenged, figure out how can Youtube videos be played on Sonos. SonosTube(an app on phone) does it, but I was stuck even after spending hours on it. Let me know if you want to work together to solve it. ;)

Let me know in comments about this video. :)
