Re: [slim] Players Missing From Synchronize Menu
Yes, thank you, Mark. I'm trying to rationalize that, and even for a super geek like me, it's hard to do. 14 SoftSqueeze instances? No, that would mean 14 computers. Maybe 14 VMs? 14 physical players? Well, that's just awesome...but overkill? I would not be shocked if we found that SC will only show 14 players becuase no one would ever need more than 14 players!

I really need to see pictures of this. Sorry if you think this is overkill and I guess I am out of sync with the majority but here are my reasons for having so many players: 1- I believe that the correct way to distribute music is using synchronized local networked sources rather than a single source feeding a mult-zone amp. This has the advantage of full local control at each location, full meta-data at each location, and full flexibility to play synchronized, or not, at any location without preset limits to the number of sources or zones. Despite the number, I do not use Squeezeboxes in every nook and corner of the house (None in bedrooms except mine, 6 basement rooms share a single player, 3 3rd floor rooms share a single player, etc.) 2- The display. The display is what makes it useful to have players in both the Library and the Dining Room even though they are right next to each other. The display is what makes Squeezeboxes useful even when music is not playing (weather, stocks, home automation alerts). The display is what provides the wow factor with guests. The display is what makes the players easy to configure (just try setting up a static IP on an SBR and you will wish you had gotten an SB3 instead!) The display is why I have 16 zones of Squeezebox Players rather than 16 zones of Sonos. -- upstatemike upstatemike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53228 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Players Missing From Synchronize Menu
I definitely am not making fun of you - that's seriously awesome. And I agree, my SB count just grew from 1, and I find that walking around the house with players synchronized is absolutely spectacular. Just having 2 physical plus a SoftSqueeze is amazing. I'm just trying to imagine 14 players - I don't even have 14 rooms. -- androidtopp My SB3 is the most expensive part of my stereo. So I'm not going to brag about it.

Try the OtherPlayers plugin, that doesn't have any limit that I'm aware of (though I haven't tried it with that many!). -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53228 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Sync is also accessible from the Player Settings, though the semantics are different. If you're using the main page pulldown, sync means take control of.
