The ui would benefit from one of those "i" info balloons to expand upon the cryptic "Unsynchronized (or Master)", but the logic is rather simple.
The "Whole House" sync group is the easiest example, especially not knowing the layout of your house and what is upstairs and what is downstairs. First, decide which player you want to be the "Master" -- the other player(s) will use its playlist, rather than vice versa. Let's say you choose "Kitchen" to be the master. Then don't change anything for the drop-down. Then go to the Office drop-down and choose Kitchen, because it is going to sync to Kitchen. Then go to the Internet Radio drop-down and sync it to Kitchen. Click 'Apply' and the group is established. Alternatively, let's assume for now that your Upstairs players are Office and Internet Radio. Let's also assume that you want Internet Radio to be the master. Then just go to the drop-down for Office and set it to Radio, click 'Apply', and you're done. I haven't run into the problems you have with players getting un-sync'd and such, but those symptoms could possibly be a result of not setting the groups up correctly. For example, if you have two players sync'ing to different 'masters' in the same sync groups then the results will be a little unpredictable.... But maybe it's something else that's giving you problems. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 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
