I'm not sure what "too many variables" means, but I count two adjustments that should be able to compensate for all the variables at a given point in time:
Player Start Delay (ms) Player Audio Delay (ms) It would be great for an iOS device to measure the actual output of all the devices, and adjust the two variables based on current actual conditions (ie, taking into account the end result of "too many variables"). That is, other variables can likely be compensated for with these two adjustments -- and as those other environmental factors change, if the system isn't smart enough with the settings listed below to self-correct, the user could walk around among the different zones/devices and use the iOS app again, to get things back in sync. It wouldn't be a set-and-forget operation, but it would be much faster than typing in numbers into the web interface, hoping to dial things in. --------------- Separately, there are two user-adjustable preferences about how often to address sync issues that the server detects: Minimum Synchronization Adjustment (ms) Network Packet Latency (ms) For extra credit, the iOS device could allow adjustment of these -- either recommended values or something fancier. -- nathan_h ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan_h's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87748 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
