>From a user point of view I think we need some kind of "zone" concept, I suppose this might be the same as what you call sync groups.
- It should be possible to configure a player so it's part of several zones but obviously it can only play music in one zone at the time - In the user interface you should be able to select a zone (or a single player) - When you select a zone and starts to play, it should move all players in the zone to the correct server and start playing them synchronized Some samples of zones: - Bottom floor - Whole house - Livingroom and kitchen In this concept, the kitchen Boom might be part of all three zones. 1. The user select "Whole house" and start to play something, the kitchen Boom is connected to the sync group and starts to play. 2. The user select "Bottom floor" and start to play something, the kitchen Boom is disconnected from the "Whole house" sync group and connected to the "Bottom floor" sync group and starts to play the new music. The remaining players in "Whole house" keeps playing the old music. I think it's also worth to look at iPeng as I think it provides the best synchronization configuration available for the Squeezebox products at the moment. The issue that's going to trouble the developers are the fact that players might be connected to different servers. When you select a zone some of its players might be connected to MySB.com, some to the Touch and some to your full SBS server somewhere else in the house. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75381 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
