I’m using Media Center in 'Theatre View'.
MC Version: 18.0.154
I have 4 zones. Zone I (Main), Zone II (Playlists), Zone III (Images) & Zone IV (RX-A3000)
The plan (so far):
Zone I (Main) used to play all audio/video (excluding any/all playlists) without any alteration to source
Zone II (Playlists) used to play any selected audio playlists using replay gain settings
Zone II (Images) used to play images only
Zone IV (RX-A3000) no settings
Expressions created and used by Media Center:
Zone I:‘-playlistid==1361956,=264437661,=42487240,=726986956,=899155501,=114864646,

Syntax – ‘Playlists is not any - Imported Playlists; Smartlists; etc.; etc.; etc.’
Played in: Zone I (Main)
Zones excluded: Zone II (Playlists), Zone IV (RX-A3000)
Zone II: ‘[Media Type]=[Audio]’

Played in: Zone II (Playlists)
Zones excluded: Zone I (Main), Zone IV (RX-A3000)
Zone III: ‘[Media Type]=[Image]’
Played in: Zone III (Images)
Zones excluded: none
Zone IV: (RX-A3000) no settings
ZoneSwitch order (top down): Zone I (Main), Zone II (Playlists), Zone III (Images), Zone IV (RX-A3000)
So… everything appears to work with the exception of the ‘Zone I (Main)’ rule. I’m unable to play an album (selected from ‘Album View’) in this zone. MC appears to treat any album I select as a playlist, directs playback to Zone II and engages the replay gain settings for that zone. I’ve tried a number of different rule settings but the result is always the same. Playback defaults to Zone II.
What am I doing wrong?
