Cool.
One thing: How does the "Grab and Send" Playlist stuff work? Can I
access this through CLI or something? The reason I'm asking is, that
iPeng has a similar functionality (called MultiPlayer Control, see
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=301712&postcount=60) that
allows you to control power, volume, play/pause, skip and sync on all
of your players. The "Grab and send playlist" stuff could make sense to
add, but you don't seem to have a web UI for it.

That's nothing to do with Max' plugin but is the normal strange SB
behavior, I wrote something about it a while back. Dunno if it's to be
considered a bug or a feature:

Hm... this is not what happens on my SBC, actually on my SBC Max'
plugin does exactly that.
Which is what I expect (since it's the same way iPeng does it ;-) and
it's the only way that makes sense for more than two players.
