In the plugin settings, you define what real players are part of the virtual player and when playback starts on that virtual player, the group is assembled. It is disassembled as soon as the playback stops. So you don't have to do anything manually, except the initial setup. You can create a Virtual player named (eg) Master Bedroom that contains a Radio and a Duet. You can create another group named 1st floor that contains the same Radio and Duet, plus two Booms. You now see in the UI 6 players: 2 Booms, a Duet and a Radio, then Bedroom and 1st Floor. When you play on Master Bedroom, track will be played on the duet and the radio. If you start to play on 1st floor, then the duet,radio and the 2 booms start playing. The duet and the radio stop playing what they where playing before. The other way around, if you were playing on player 1st Floor and start playing on Master Bedroom, then the 2 Boom will continue playing whatever there were playing but the Radio and Duet will play whatever you asked them to play. Finally, if you had a "static" group already configured in LMS with one of the Boom and the Radio, whenever you stop playing on 1st Floor and/or Master Bedroom players, this group will be re-assembled I will now end those pointless remarks and try the plugin.
