I'm new to this forum, and new to LMS/Squeezebox, but I'm experienced with home automation and networking.
I have LMS and the Airplay Bridge running on a Raspberry Pi, and they are working well. I have 2 AV receivers, a Yamaha and a Denon, and both have Airplay. They are both detected by Airplay Bridge and are working properly. What I would like to be able to do is use the Zone 2 feature on each of the receivers, ideally having Zone 2 show up as a separate player in LMS. For example, I have a Yamaha receiver in my basement. The main zone shows up via Airplay as Basement. The receiver's Zone 2 is wired to speakers in my back yard. I'd like to have an additional player in LMS called Backyard, that would use Airplay to play to Zone 2 of the Yamaha receiver. Currently, I can do this by choosing the Basement player in LMS, then switching over to the Yamaha remote app, turning on Zone 2 for Airplay, and turning off Zone 1. It works, but it's cumbersome, and it will interrupt anyone using the receiver in the basement (Main Zone). The Denon has a similar set up, with the main zone in one room and Zone 2 in another. Both the Yamaha and the Denon can be controlled over IP, and I do have the control protocols. So, what I'd like to know is whether there is a way to: 1. Set up two players in LMS/Airplay Bridge for each receiver, one for the main zone and one for Zone 2; 2. Whenever a player is selected, have LMS send the necessary control codes to the appropriate receiver to configure it to play to the proper zone. Before I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to do this, I thought I'd check in here to see if someone had already had success with something similar, or had tried and determined it was impossible. Thanks for any help you can give. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Canadave's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71506 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105198 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
