NEW: Zone Sync 2 [Old instructions]
jmone:
Adjust Link Timing does not seem to work if you have 2 MC instances linked. But if I throw in a 3rd DLNA device then it does.

It would be trivial to modify the DLNA commands we're using if we decide to support that standard, the hard part for now is getting the system working well in a variety of environments and playback scenarios.

Hi John. Unfortunately I am not aware of any devices for testing. I guess that in lack of any control point manufacturers supporting it, the renderer manufacturers haven’t felt the need to do so. Chicken and egg. But if you take this step, I think you would be a first mover, and probably trigger an avalanche of followers.

I have been trying to get setup to test this with the kit available but have been struggling on this topic -> https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,114937.0.html
the way MC is presenting zones from other MC instances doesn't seem entirely reliable in two ways
1) it doesn't seem to refresh when options are changed without going round and reconnecting instances from the library
2) the combination of DLNA options in Options > Media Network don't always seem to work in the same way each time I check them
2 might be a function of 1 though
can anyone comment on that thread to explain how it is meant to work?
mattkhan:
can I also check the UI for this? https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,114618.0.html says that "We expect to be able to start synchronized playback of a zone group." but this is not implemented yet right? i.e. I have to link zones first and then start playback

That's correct. You can't currently start playback of a zone group.
