I'll try... I'm listening to player A, and not surprisingly that's the currently-chosen player on the Controller. I decide that I'd like to play the same thing on players B and C (ideally without interrupting the music on A). So I try what worked under 7.2. I go to Other Players, choose B, then "Sync with B". But now, A stops playing (or starts playing whatever B was playing), because sync now runs in the other direction. Player A now has acquired B's playlist. If I now go back to Other Players, choose C and then "Sync with C", a now acquires C's playlist; and (crucially) sync between A and B is broken, so I can't even try to recreate A's old playlist on A, B and C, because they're still not all sync'd. Presumably, to get A synced as master with both B and C (I hope my language is clear here), I have to choose one of B or C first. This is bad enough, as switching between players on the Controller is pretty slow (at least, it's always been that way for me); this was what I loved about Other Players before 7.3. If, as I fear, I have to "visit" all three, then that's just too tedious for words. (I say "if", because I've never tried to sync all three this way.) Might as well just stop A (perhaps waiting for the current track to end), and use The Synchroniser. (Incidentally, right now my three players are sync'd; but with the controller looking at Living Room (which should be the master, but see later), Other Players shows it as sync'd with Upstairs, but not with Kitchen. I guess there's an explanation along the lines of "mumble mumble sync groups," but I can't be bothered to figure it out. Just to complete my day: though Living Room has Crossfade set (according to the controller), it ain't happening. Am I really going to have to turn it on for every player? Please, no!) I do use grab/send playlist occasionally, but really do need sync most of the time as I can hear more than one player from many parts of the house. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57617 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
