Just to elaborate a bit, in order to do what you want to do, all players need to be connected to the same server. That is, the same instance of LMS. Having LMS running on all your installations of piCorePlayer is just confusing matters. Here's a view of my Players drop-down list in Material (in my case on a desktop instead of the mobile version): 36132 There are eight standard players and two group players. LMS is running on the Raspberry Pi named Baskerville at the top of the list, and nowhere else. It stays on all the time. I can use any one of the eight standard players independently of the others. Each one could be playing something different. Or I could select the group player, All-player-sync, and have the same thing playing on all of them (assuming they are all powered on). Isn't that what you want? There's one remaining thing you want, and I am utterly clueless about it: making this work from your automation dashboard. Can you select a player from the dashboard? If so, it should be possible to set up your dashboard so you can choose to use an individual player or a group player. But if not, you will probably have to continue to use LMS (through the Material skin on you phone, as in your screenshot) to choose an individual player or a group. +---+ |Filename: lms-material-players.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36132| +---+ LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS.

The players are always on but reboot nightly.
I was able to have the primary player curl the JSONRPC API after reboot
and add the secondary players:
Code:
curl -X POST
-d'{"id":0,"method":"slim.request","params":["",["disconnect","b8:27:eb:29:f4:d7","172.16.0.243"]]}'

This > configuration is lost in a reboot. > > https://imgur.com/a/0zWZ2Pi I think you are referring to something that's usually called synchronizing players. You have several players playing the same thing and all of them can be controlled at the same time from any of the synchronized players. Is that correct? This can be done with drag-and-drop in Material skin, as in your screenshot. I do not know of a way to save a configuration made this way, but perhaps someone who knows more will correct me. If you have a group of synchronized players you want to use frequently, the best way I know of to do that, without having to create the group every time, is to install the Group Players plugin, which should be available in the 3rd Party Plugins section on the Plugins page under settings. I usually prefer to manage plugins in the default skin, but I think it can be done in Material, too. The Group Players plugin will make it possible for you to create one or more Group Players, which will then appear in the drop-down list of players. Each Group Player will be two or more individual players synchronized together. LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.
