NEW: ZoneSwitch
WinoOutWest:
My use:
VideoZone: cheapie onboard digital output to external amp/processor
AudioZone: high(er) end 2 channel analog output to whole house music system that plays "something" around the clock
Been using it like this for a while but wife, kids and admittedly me too invariably forget to change zones before putting on a video- often messing up a playlist on the music side. This will be a thing of the past with the ZoneSwitch.

I've used JRiver since V9 and have never used an expression. How would I condition a zone based on time? I want to see if I can limit the volume or use adaptive volume after a certain time. Do I select Custom and then enter [formatdate(now(),hour)]>=[20] if I want the zone to be used after 8 pm? I can't seem to get it to work.

You're a problem :P
The search engine is really set up to evaluate files. However, it does seem like this should be possible. I'll try to figure out the syntax tomorrow and post it.
MrC:
For 8pm quite time, set the search to:
[=Compare(FormatDate(Now(), H), >=, 20)]=1
You could use a calculated [QuiteHour] field instead of the hardcoded value:
[=Compare(FormatDate(Now(), H), >=, [QuiteHour])
and just change the field's value when you want (do this if you're going to use this rule more than once and don't want to update all copies).
This can be combined with additional search terms of course.
[Media Type]=[Audio] [=Compare(FormatDate(Now(), H), >=, 20)]=1

Thanks, MrC. I just tried it and it works great.
We had a blizzard last night and I spent two hours this morning snow blowing. I got a lot of cold snow to the forehead which must have triggered a little creativity today.
