NEW: ZoneSync 2

--- Quote from: jmone on February 08, 2019, 12:05:40 am ---From what I understand, ZoneSync2 only works to auto sync between MC Instances. While there is a SyncPlay() function as part of the latest UPnP specification, unfortunately not a single mfr has implemented it in their DLNA devices. The Link Timing adjustment should work for the Yami but even if you get it perfectly synced, it will drift out of sync and the next time you play it will be wrong. It's all a PITA to get Whole House Sync Audio going. Your options are:
1) Use MC on all your devices so you can use ZoneSync2
2) Use a 3rd party apps like TuneBlade / Airfoil / BubbleUPnP Server / HiFy that can take the ouput of MC then send a stream to mulitple devices and keep them all in sync. Unfortunately, each of these products support a different set of devices and protocols. Have a search in the forum as there are a few threads on how to set these up.

I posted a query about using airfoil. What concerns me about it is that it won’t work with Wasapi audio which is how my Schiit DAC works. I don’t want to sacrifice audio quality at all. Have you heard good or bad using these 3rd party apps?

I can't tell if I'm using ZoneSync 2 or not. I'm trying to do Zone Link (which uses Zone Sync?) from MC25 on Mac to MC25 on Pi Linux. Should that work?
Are there requirements I should know about? I ask because the directions are Windows specific saying that I have to use WASAPI.
Roderick mentions that the "adjust link timing" should NOT be present if I'm using ZoneSync 2. Is that true? I've never seen it documented anywhere else.

So.... any ideas at all? Sorry if my last post seemed overly critical. I'm just trying to make this work.
Thanks,
Brian.

Sorry for the delay on this. I just did some testing and it is indeed not working well with an Id Pi we have here. I tested with a Windows computer linking to a Mac and that was right on, but linking Windows to Pi or Mac to Pi was just not syncing. More research is needed to track down the cause. Possibly our max sync delay time is too small for the Pi hardware to handle. It would be nice if that's the case because it would be simple to fix.

Well that's actually good news as far as I'm concerned. Let me know if there's anything I can do to facilitate testing.
Thanks,
Brian.
