AFAIK, speakers cant be grouped as an independent virtual entity, at least in AirPlay 1. This means a group only exists in the context of the controller. It might be different in AP2, they might have something similar to Chromecast, that I dont know. But because my bridge only works with AP1, you must use LMS sync (as opposed to CC where you can only use CC sync) LMS 8.2 on Odroid-C4 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 5xBoom, 2xDuet, 1xTouch, 1xSB3. Sonos PLAY:3, PLAY:5, Marantz NR1603, Foobar2000, ShairPortW, 2xChromecast Audio, Chromecast v1 and v2, Squeezelite on Pi, Yamaha WX-010, AppleTV 4, Airport Express, GGMM E5, RivaArena 1 & 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philippe_44's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105198
