It may appear to work OK right now but of you leave it for 15min (can't remember exact time) player won't be part of group anymore so when power on it will not be playing when group plays.. Sorry
My workflow with group plugin is that I transfer queue from 1 player or small group to another player or bigger group but not sure how that would behave with YouTube plugin (if it will remember playback position.. Possibly) Ps I don't really use squeeze commander anymore as there is material apk which give me same experience on pc and android 3x Squeezebox Touch, 4x Squeezebox Radio, Squeezelite (RPi 3B with HiFiBerry DAC+Pro on OSMC), Material Skin Apk, Squeeze Commander, Logitech Media Server Version: 8.2.0 with Material Skin (Docker in DS218+) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58187 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116241 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
