Hi Christian, > > The issue I have: > Setting a "Turn on playback pause" other than 0 sets the volume of my > player to 0/mute.

Yes, if a "Turn on playback pause" is configured, the plugin mutes the player temporariliy - otherwise it just sounds bad, when the track is suddenly rewound by a couple of seconds. The idea is that the player is muted for the period it takes the amps to become alive. So, what happens (or should happen) is that the the player is muted (without amp this does not hurt), the amps are fired off, after the specified time the track is rewound (typically to the begin of the track) and then the the player is unmuted - in the best case the track is just about to begin and you don't even get to know, that the player was muted. At least at my place, it works exactly this way. If it doesn't work this way for you, there is something wrong - I happy to help to find the reason. So please let me know your experience. > > My wish is (possibly it is simply misunderstanding): > As I understand your Zones layout (I know Zones from CasaTunes), and I > don't want to use it, if I have four players I cannot configure four > different On- and Off-Commands for these players? > So in my (zoneless setting) player 1 has to have Zone 1 enabled, player > 2 = Zone 2 and finally player 3 = Zone 3 (player 4 is not possible). > If this is as I explained, my wish from the Christkind would be to get > two or three more zones. > > Because, if I understood your Zones concept, if I configure Player 1 > using Zone 1 with On-/Off-Settings, and Player 2 using Zone 1 with > individual On-/Off settings, the plugin will always send both requests > if one of the players start? > I think your understanding of "zone" is wrong. Maybe you think of a too sophisticated concept - it is not. It is dead simple - I was just missing an appropriate name. I came up with the SBNetIO zone concept to support this scenario: *One* of my players is connected with *two* amps powering speakers on different levels of my house - and I want to be able to switch those two areas individually through the app UI. Each amp creates a zone; and if the player is started, the cmds for both zones are sent (synced Mode enabled) and both amps are turned on. But I'm always able to shut down (or turn on) this or the other amp through the App UI. But this is my special scenario - I guess in 99% of cases people have only one amp for each player, so there is only one zone necessary. There is no limitation regarding the number of players you are using - the plugin is configured for each player individually. So in the server settings dialog go through your players and configure *one* zone for each, i.e. one On and one Off cmd - that should be all you want to do. 16930 Please let me know, if I misunderstood what you want to achieve.
