Title: Simultaneously play the same audio feed in 2 zone
Post by: Denon82 on July 02, 2014, 11:27:48 am

Hello,

I apologize if this has already been discussed, but I am looking for a way to play the same audio in 2 zones? Basically I want to play a song from my PC, and have it play to my Home Theater and Tablet simultaneously. Most posts I found talk about playing 2 different sources to 2 different zones.

Thanks

Drag one zone onto the other.  The zones will then be Linked and all the audio will be correlated.

Thanks Matt,

I figured it out, I had to download BubbleUpnp to make it work like I wanted. Since Gizmo does not act as a DLNA renderer, I had to use another app.

I noticed that I can only play audio into 2 linked zones, this appears to be working as designed. Is there a way to play video in 2 zones simultaneously? The reason why I want to do this is because I have a playlist that consists of music videos and audio files, I would like to have these stream to 2 devices througout my house. On the tablet side, I only really care about the audio from the video playing since that's hooked up a smaller stereo.

I'm not sure if Zone Link works for video or not.  You could test it and see.

Sorry I should of mentioned, I did try and it said it could only playback audio within linked zones. Thought maybe there was a way around this, I'll keep looking.
