Oh I was not expecting to provide you with sync with other LMS players. I've only been able to do that with AirPlay as it uses RTSP/RTP and I was able to "proxy" RTP to LMS way of controlling playback timing. I was referring to your comment of sync between LMS display and Alexa display. The bridge will create a "fake" LMS player for each Alexa speaker and when LMS starts playback, it will simply send a stream at the actual realtime bitrate + initial buffer of N seconds. So de-sync is just max N secs. LMS 7.9 on Pi 3B+ & Odroid-C2 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB3.
