It does.
2. If a radio station is already being streamed to one player, is it
possible (has anyone considered) - as an option - automatically
synching to the already streamed player to save upline bandwidth.
Only if you have the players set up as synced will it share a
stream. One issue here is that some stations have playlists and or
dynamically created streams, so sharing feeds might not work in a
significant number of cases.
3. When synching players to a radio station I understand that they get
out of synch due to 'no start of track' - has anyone considered (as a
synch option) to insert a 're-synch' every (say) 5 minutes?
That's something we're definitely planning on, keeping long songs and
radio stations in sync by tracking playback time with fine grained
network clocks.
As a short term fix, I have installed the powersave plugin to turn
players off every hour by default but this is a bit cumbersome.
That'll work too!
