Excellent!  If I wanted to create grouped players with various combination of different zones, how would I do that?  Thanks,

Or should I start a different thread?

Thanks,

 

Hi, I don't really know. Do your dlna devices have that feature? There isn't anything built into Emby to do that.

We do support that with Sonos, but you have to use the dedicated Sonos plugin rather than plain dlna.

Arylic now has  a  vast set of streamers (renderers, etc) usually on sale for about $75 for a 50w+50w stereo zone (DIY version).  Their app does an  outstanding job of controlling their devices but the media side is lack-luster.  That is  why I need Emby!  They also have support for a full HTTP API for  control.  I use Home Assistant/Media Assistant for limited(buggy) control but again the  UI is years behind Emby.

4STREAM APP: Select Source, Select Zone (and multi-zone), Select Input, Adjust Volume...

 

What does  it take to  get an Arylic Plug-in?  Seems like there  may be a  lot  of interest .   I'm retired tech so  certainly could help Q.C. but not a programmer.

thx,

To do what though? It is best to stick with dlna to the extent possible. The Sonos plugin has pros and cons. You can play Sonos with the dlna plugin but there is no support for groups. Or you can use the Sonos plugin to get that. The problem is that as the dlna plugin gets updated, it is a significant effort to constantly port the same updates into the Sonos plugin, so it ends up falling behind in other respects. From this standpoint, it would be best to not have an arylic plugin unless there was no other choice. Hopefully there are more functions that can be performed over regular dlna.
