I'm listening to a playlist in the living-room. I decide that I'd like to hear it in the kitchen as well, perhaps replacing whatever playlist is in the kitchen at the moment. How do I do it?
The answer seems to be that it depends on which mechanism I'm using to synchronise. I *think* that if I'm using the IR remote or the Controller, then I need to tell the living room to sync with the kitchen. This is slightly counter-intuitive to me, as "sync with" implies to me that the current player will start playing whatever is playing on the other player; but after several attempts, I'm fairly sure that it's the other way round. So I should think of it as "pushing" the current player's playlist to the "sync with" player. I guess that "push" makes more sense if you're syncing multiple players. However, today I happened to be using the (default) webface when I wanted to sync; and so, following the same logic, I made sure that the current player was Living Room, went to Audio / Sync, chose Kitchen from the list and hit Apply. Hey presto! My carefully-constructed living-room playlist was unrecoverably overwritten with the album I'd been playing in the kitchen last night. Grr! All the documentation I've seen on synchronisation (OK, a quick skim of the manuals and a quick search of the wiki) makes no mention whatsoever of how to make sure that sync happens in a particular direction. So is there a definitive statement about this somewhere? Yes, I know about GrabPlaylist, but that's not what I wanted in this case, as I really did want the players to be in sync, and didn't want to lose the playlist from the living-room. -- 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=49355 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
