Hi!

I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct forum to ask about this,
but I had an idea for a "smart" synchronization feature for the
Squeezebox players. I have quite a few Squeezebox radios spread out over
different locations: I have four in my apartment in the city and four in
my rural house - all connected to the same LMS. Oftentimes I listen to
the same content on the different players and synchronization would've
been a good choice for a more "seemless" listening experience. The
problem is that even though the synchronization works fine once set up,
it's a bit of a hassle to actually set it up every time you use it.

So my suggestion/feature request is as follows: All players that are
inside a configurable domain (for instance "basement in house A",
"living area in apartment B") will automatically synch up if the same
content is being played. So if player A is playing BBC Radio and then
player B starts playing the same stream (identified by URL), then these
two players should synch up. The same happens if a third player starts
playing the same stream. If one of the players starts playing something
else, it's removed from the synch group, and so on for the rest of the
players, until there's only one player left. None of these players
should be the master and force the other players to play anything else -
that's what you have the forced synchronization feature for (the one you
have to manually set up).

Has anyone any idea how to implement this? Or has something like this
already been implemented?
