Excellent plugin! This suits my uses of my Duet/SB3 pair very well. I was getting mildly irritated by how often I found myself having to switch between players to do something, and then back again.
The kitchen SBR usually gets killed by the microwave and if the living-room is sync'd it gets killed too. With the Other Players menu I can cancel the sync (without having to change player first); or I can just send/grab the playlist from the kitchen to the living-room. Also, I find it handy to be able to power-up/down a player without having to switch to it. (Aside: sometimes my SB3 gets into a strange state where it appears to be off (both on its display and on the SBC) and yet it's playing. Pressing the on button (on either remote) at this point can be risky; e.g. earlier today, Other Players showed the SB3's power as unchecked but sync was checked. When I checked the power box, it turned the SB3 off properly, which silenced it and cancelled its sync with the SBR. IIRC, the menu didn't update the sync status to off until I left it and returned. If I use the webiface or another remote to sync or unsync, would Other Players detect & reflect it immediately, or does it just check the status on entry?) It looks as though "sync with B" means "get B to play what I'm playing", which fits in with other SBC behaviour. Would it be possible to add a "sync from B" option as well (so that the current player starts singing to B's tune, as it were)? Many thanks for writing and sharing this plugin. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49490 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
