I've just released the first version of a plugin I call SyncOptions: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html based on the ideas I wrote about in http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40981
SyncOptions adds two global options: 1) when a player joins a sync group that's already playing local files, wait until the current song finishes before joining, so the current song does not restart [additional setting: how many seconds "late" to tolerate a join, for instance go ahead and join and force the track to start again if the new player joins less than 5 seconds into the current track; also with the remote control you can force the player to immediately sync, even if that means restarting the current track] and 2) when a player powers off, have it leave any sync group it's in, so that it won't cause the sync group to restart a track the next time that player is powered on. This is only for SlimServer 6.5.x now, and does require you to patch your SlimServer Perl source code. I do intend to make a version for SqueezeCenter 7, and hope that it won't require patching source code. Comments are most welcome. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41797 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
