It looks like Eric Kolding's Synchronizer plugin (http://www.koldware.com/SlimStuff/) might offer what you need for that. In order to support the Controller, the plugin implements a few CLI commands. Most interesting at first glance are "syncSyncToMe", which would make all players in your setup sync with the player whose button you pushed, and "syncSyncToSet" which appears to make your player sync to a predefined sync group. "syncSyncToSet" takes one argument, which appears to be the number of the sync group to join (where the groups are sorted alphabetically by name and the first is number 0) -- I think it'd be better for the argument to be the sync group name, but I suspect that Eric didn't expect anyone else to use his CLI commands. I think a small patch should allow Synchronizer to accept either name or number, so you could set up a KidsPlay macro without fear of it breaking each time you define a new group with the Synchronizer. Note: I have never used the Synchronizer, I'm just going from a quick look at the source code for version 0.9.4. One remaining wrinkle that I would expect is controlling player power. If you have all players set to sync power when synced with others, they should all come to life after syncSyncToSet. Otherwise any player that's turned off will remain silent, even though it's synced (synced just means play the same thing IF you're turned on). I don't know if you can add four "macGoesHere power 1" commands to the KidsPlay macro to turn them all on. I expect you cannot -- KidsPlay executes commands in the context of the player where the button was pressed, and I expect that I'd need to modify KidsPlay to allow you to use commands that explicitly identified specific players. Not a big deal, it's just not there yet. Oh, and thanks for the nice words about SyncOptions. :-) -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager 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=66840 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
