Different audio and video sources at same time possible?
« on: October 21, 2012, 09:02:57 pm »

Ok, I know this is an odd question, but I mostly hate sports commentary but like watching the sport itself.  Is it possible to play the video portion of the TV station (using HD HomeRun Duel) and at the same time play music from my library rather than the audio from the TV station?

Thanks.

In options there's a setting to allow multiple instances of MC to run. It might be possible if you do that. With the one that will play audio, make sure you have an exclusive path. With the one that will play the video, make sure you don't have an exclusive audio path, so it will defer the audio to the music. Never tried this, so someone else may have a better suggestion.

You can do it without running multiple instances.  I do exactly this all the time (sports with music).

Zones.

Make two zones that are otherwise identical.
Play music on zone one.
Switch to zone two.  Play video.  Mute audio.
Done.

So, how do you duplicate a zone? You know, to avoid having to set up my zone preferences again. Thanks.

I don't think there's a super-easy way.
