First: why do you want to use it in iPeng at all? Wouldn't QuickSwitch (swiping right on the target player) be much faster? http://penguinlovesmusic.de/2015/03/11/ipeng-8-1-adds-quick-switch-and-more/ Second: the reason it's not on the main menu is because it's a player-specific command and player-specific commands don't always work correctly on the main menu if you have groups of synchronized players. iPeng's main menu always acts on the master of a sync group, not the player you have selected. I'm not 100% sure what SwitchPlayer does if you switch from a player in a sync group but if it only stops that player the wrong one would stop in some cases. There are several reasons for this behavior: 1. Only the master of a sync group is guaranteed to have the current state. For example, if a player in a sync group with power state "off" is selected it could lag behind in the NowPlaying state. 2. It completely did away with a common problem a lot of Controller (and earlier iPeng) users had who were not aware that they had selected a different player in a sync group from the one that was playing. If they now e.g. start a new album on that other player there was a common problem that they would for example wake someone up in a bedroom at night because the power state of that player changed - accidentally. This never happens in iPeng (unless you disable group control) because iPeng in such a setup would always send the command to the master which is always "on" if at least one player is "on" (other wise the master changes). 3. It also solves a problem where different services and accounts are configured with different players meaning content shown for one player might not be playable in a group (where the master determines what is playable). --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
