Title: "Library Server connections allow playback on server as Playing Now zones "
Post by: scharby on September 23, 2009, 01:30:22 pm
Can someone please explain in detail what this means?
"Library Server connections allow playback on server as Playing Now zones "

I'm hoping it means what I have been doing doing for years in a somewhat difficult process.  Here's the functionality I hope v14 provides.  Here's how I do it presently.
1. Create 'Playing Now list' on 1st MC (Library Server)
2. From 2nd MC connect to Library Server (1st MC).
3. On 2nd MC bring up 'Playing Now list'.  This will be 'Playing Now list' from 1st MC.
4. Manually 'sync' up the two identical 'Playing Now list's.
5. Net effect is that I now have Two MC's playing the same playlist, & if I do a good job of syncing it appears two separate systems are playing the same song.  In otherwords my home stereo system and a second system located in the workshop appear to be playing from the same source.

Does v14 have anything new to provide this functionality?

Thanks.....
