shortcut or command line tool to chane zones / sync zones?
« on: April 27, 2011, 04:24:23 pm »

Hi
I want to have a shortcut to get the stuff playing in zone 1 to get played in zone 2.

Lets say i am listening musik in the kitchen, go to the dinning room and want now hear the musik there. I have to click on zones, sync zones and then perhaps also stop the musik in the kitchen (and before that i have to deconnect the both zones).

That takes to long.

How can i do this with a small script (vbs, ahk? --> comand line) or even just with some keyboard shortcuts?

Thanks for input!

The MCC commands you would need to link and unlink zones aren't available. (The linking feature is relatively new, so there may be some unpublished commands.) But a simple AHK script should work. Assuming just two zones, with the source currently selected...

  • Link the zones: Alt+P, Z, L, L
  • Wait for play to start in destination zone: Pause 1000 (or whatever works)
  • Unlink the zones: Alt+P, Z, U
  • Clear PN (still source zone): Ctrl+Alt+X
  • Toggle zone (why not?): Ctrl+T

Just to add to what Rick said the letters after alt+p, z could be different based on your system/zone names.
For example for me it is alt+P, Z, I, L because one of my zones is named "Living Room"
The letters you need to use are underlined.
