Discovery is timing out

[mjc-gh]

Does this gem work with modern versions of Ruby? I am unable to install it on Ruby 2.0.

$ rvm use 2.0
$ gem install sonos
ERROR:  Error installing sonos:
        rack requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2.

On Ruby 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 it is timing out on Discovery:

2.3.1 :003 > Sonos::System.new
Timed out...
 => #<Sonos::System:0x007faf27d40b88 @topology=[], @groups=[], @devices=[]>

Any suggestions?

Same there... is still alive this gem?

FWIW, through some "aggressive" monkey patching, I was able to work around the discovery issues and query my speaker for details

speaker = Sonos::Device::Speaker.new('192.168.100.99')

def speaker.group_master
  OpenStruct.new(ip: '192.168.100.99')
end

speaker.now_playing

Oh, that's great! have you planned to share your patch?

This patch is extremely hacky and just a workaround (as I am monkey patching my speaker instance's singleton class with a group_master method).

I think a better long term solution is to make some modifications to the code and allow for initializing a speaker using a static IP address. This way, we can avoid the need to auto discovery altogether. I can look more into the code and see what would be needed to achieve this.
