NEW: ZoneSwitch
joelha:
Is there any reason why JRemote would not work properly on the same music server when that server is switching zones between two output devices (in this case DAC's)?
I realize this is not a JRemote forum, but I'm hoping someone might have some experience with JRemote and switching zones who could comment.
I tried doing the above myself and ran into problems. I will see, if necessary, if I can get an answer from the JRemote folks as well.
Thanks,
Joel

There is a JRemote thread on our Third Party board here.

So I just got started experimenting with Zones now to see if I could solve something that has been annoying me for a while: starting video playback and losing whatever music was currently playing.
It was easier than I expected to set that up (zone switch rules for media type is/is not video) and I am already seeing how powerful this could potentially be... but some of the things I want to do would involve creating a few extra zones.
How is there not a duplicate/copy zone function in here though!?
I can't seem to find a list of what settings are global, and which only apply to the current zone, but I've spent a lot of time tweaking my settings to get things working the way I want them to, and now creating a new zone seems to have thrown all of that away.
I might spend the time to set up a second zone just this once, as I really want to split up audio and video, but I doubt I would touch the zone feature again after that, until there's some way to at least have a duplicate to start from and make changes to, rather than having to set up everything from the beginning again.
EDIT: OK, first problem with this setup:
If I start playback of a video from the "Video" zone I created while music is playing through the "Audio" zone, I get a "Playback could not be started on the selected audio output" error.
The same thing happens if I have a video playing (e.g. the end credits of a film) and decide to resume playback of the music I was last listening to through the "Audio" zone.
If I start playback of a video anywhere else in MC18 - even the Zone Overview - it will stop audio playback correctly and then play the video, and vice-versa.
But starting playback directly from that zone's "Playing Now" list does not.

Any ideas about what is going wrong in my setup?
It's only when I start playback from within one of the zones here, while audio is playing in the other.
MrC:
You mean, you already have items in the zone's Playing Now, and try to start them from there? What's in a Zone, Stays in a Zone.
