Swapping Renderers On-the-fly

<< < (2/5) > >>

JimH:
Ctrl-T toggles zones.

mattkhan:
zones means playing the same item twice and being able to context switch seamlessly between them even though they're targeting the same output (audio and video) devices, I don't see how that can possibly work

the request here is to play a single item and be able to switch just the renderer essentially on the fly

lepa:
Did you check diversion? Of course you can switch renderers completely seamlessly but diversion can switch whatever was played to new zone and continue playing it there

mattkhan:
I looked at https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=129704.0 which says it should be in playing now, I can't see any divert option though?

mattkhan:
I tried it using MCWS, it has the same problem I mentioned earlier regarding not updating the current zone. It means

start playback in 1 zone and be watching the display
send the divert command
view switches to the playing now view
original zone is still current so if you press ctrl+3 then it shows a black screen because nothing is playing there

IME controlling display view programmatically is really slow (and quite flaky) but I guess it could automated (divert, setactivezone, change display mode) via some script

I'd say technically possible but really clunky and a bit slow

thanks for the tip though, it's not far away from being usable
