Make sure you have 24.0.7 installed.  It's possible you may need to restart both sides.  We expect to make the settings automatic, so that the master zone controls the client settings it needs.

I don't know what you mean.

I do have .07 on all machines

for example

open 2 MC instances (A and B) with the DLNA Renderer option unchecked
check that each MC shows the local zones only
check the option in A
check that B sees A's zones quite quickly
uncheck the option in A
B still sees A's zones
click the "refresh dynamic zones" option in B
A's zones are still present
completely kill B and restart it
A's zones are no longer visible in B

actually this only seems to happen with the 24 clients or possibly it is a windows thing. I have 1 23 linux instance left and that one does get added/removed from the zone lists as soon as I check/uncheck that option. I'll try a 24 linux client later to see if it is an OS thing or not.

mattkhan:
I also notice that the "device webpage" option for an MC zone doesn't seem to function correctly, specifically (with auth enabled on the MC instance) it takes you to Panel on some other port and you are unable to login but no error is displayed, it just sits at the login page. If you go to panel on the usual port and login then return to the address given by the "device webpage" then you can access panel without issue.

mattkhan:
FWIW I tried a linked zone where 1 zone talks to an ASIO device, playback started on the remote zone normally but the server mc instance hung (UI whited out) and didn't start playback. I had to restart MC on the server.

I know you said "use WASAPI" but I tried it inadvertently so thought I'd report it anyway.

mattkhan:
I gave this a try however I don't have windows clients on a wired network so this is over wifi albeit both devices with strong signals and with consistent ping times from one device to the other. The sync was quite a way off though, at least a second out.

Both of the MC instances involved have now become rather crashy after fiddling with DLNA options, they no longer seem to  want to see each other. The one that had logging on said
