Philippe, Thank your for replying so quickly! I agree with all comments that this is mostly personal preference.
Does the syncing and unsyncing have to be done with pause and play on the group player? WouldnÂt the most logical and user friendly way to be this:- When group player is powered on.. it grabs all players.. this is the only time this is done. If itÂs paused or resumed then it does no more grabbing. Only powering it on. To unsync group, just turn the group player off. If during the group sync a player is removed by a user by changing its plylist locally then when that player is turned off (ie, they have finished with it) the player is reattached to group on power off if the group player is still turned on. To me that is more seamless than the current setup. Although I agree 100% that is more preference and setup. IÂd love for the group players to stay in sync permanently whilst the group player is powered on, rather than break up and re grab at pause/play. The break up group when group player is powered off. So simple then, whilst group is powered on, players are grabbed and stay grabbed (unless locally released by changing playlist on local player). Then power off and players are released. I hope I have explained that correctly.. That above scenario would then stop a player from being grabbed again when itÂs playing something locally if the group is paused then played again. However once that person is finished with that radio, itÂs turned off and it syncs back into group. If you wish to resync whole group including the radio that is still locally playing something then just power off and power on the group player just like you do with pause/play the current way. That would grab the playing radio again. To me that is the simplest and seamless experience. IÂm sure there are reasons this canÂt be done or scenarios why its not a good idea, sure I may have missed something obvious.. Reason for group players is to sync players, turn it on and they are synced and stayed synced. Turn it off and they are back to being standalone players. Simples. ð Thanks for reading and entertaining this!!! Cheers! PS, sorry for repeating it a few times, just trying to explain it a couple of different ways as to make sense.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simon_rb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56871 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108558
