Title: music delay synchronizing zones
Post by: paps on December 03, 2009, 02:38:13 am

i want to play same music in all mc-zones (rooms)
this is so called "party mode" known from my old SONOS system.

when choosing "synchronize" from "here" to "there" same music starts "there" with a delay of seconds.

can i eliminate that delay so that same song plays synchronized in all my zones?

In Zone Manager, you can play with the 'Timing (ms)' value for different zones.  This is used when synchronizing zones to allow accounting for different hardware latencies.

But since you could be using radically different unlinked hardware, zone drift over time is possible.  The synchronization is a one-time action, and how synchronized zones stay depends on the hardware.
