I can see the point in changing the active player, and simple enough.
But I would not then expect the dialog to close and change to now
playing. That's the step I'm not sure about - closing the dialog when a
player is clicked. With a touch interface, its possible you click to
change active by mistake, and the dialog closing would be weird.

That would make sense. Just not 100% how to represent it. I guess a
synced/unsynced button which then brings up an option of which player to
sync to. I assume a player can sync to more than 1? As I only have two
players, this is never an issue for me. The default webUI seems to only
allow syncing of two players - which is why the current sync dialog does
this.

I was planning on splitting this dialog into normal players and group
players (either by section or tabs), and then allowing the
create/update/delete of group players. But I first need to add CLI
support for these commands to the group player plugin.
