1. Thanks! 2. And it doesn't move back into the group after a few moments? What kind of player is this? 3. Can you reproduce this? Or did it only happen once? Do they still show up separately when you restart iPeng? 4. No, it's not that easy. iPeng gets the necessary data from the server through two different channels: - serverstatus. This gives you the number ans IDs of the players - player status. This contains the sync state. The problem is that it can take several seconds until the new player status comes in. So iPeng first assumes that whatever action you did was successful and changes that proposition when a new player status with a different sync state comes in. Maybe that's where something went wrong. First separating them again is a bad idea because it confuses users (they will think the sync failed; this still can happen when a regular player status comes in at the wrong time) and try to sync again. The position problem is that server status sometimes seems to "lose" a player, iPeng then removes it and brings it back when the next player status comes in showing that the player is still there. Sync management is still not perfect in SBS and iPeng has to work around that a bit. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
