I just tested no 1 and it works perfectly: I have installed the Group Players plugin (by philippe_44) and set up a group of three players (2 Touch and a picoreplayer) called "helahuset". Then I started the Tidal app on my iPhone and sent the output via airplay to "helahuset" which was in the list of available airplay devices. Staretd to play and it just played on all players associated with the gorup player, in perfect synch (AFAICT). I don't know about your 2nd alternative; seems complex and difficult to me? 2 Touch, 1 Picoreplayer 4.1.0 on RaspBerry 3B with 7" display LMS latest nightly on Ubuntu 18.04.1 on Intel Core2 Duo E4500 @ 2.20GHz, 2GB All wired ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BosseJ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67378 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110079 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
