[Feature request] Multi-room support

Hello everyone

I can't find anything recent on this so thought I'd start a new thread.

One thing I'd love is multi-room support. The ability to play the same music, perfectly synced, across multiple devices would be great for me. If it's great for you too, vote me up!

Specifically for me, I'd like to be able to pick up an iPhone and from there mirror the music already playing from another iPhone. The ability to push audio to a device would probably be handy too. Doing this from the server would be ok, but not ideal.

I don't immediately see the need to extend this to video, but others may like that too.

Happy voting and developing!

 

 

 

EDIT: Already requested. Thanks OrionShock

SO you basically wish for the possibility to select multiple Players insted of only one. Do I get this right?

Therefore the Playeroption would need to work less like a remote and more like a real player, that only receives the command to compute a certain input delivered to it and not mirror whats put done by the remote device (e.g. Tablet).

I'm not sure I completely understand you; but if I have the same music coming out of two speakers, I'm happy.

Do a forum search for tandem playback :)

It sounds almost like the OP is suggesting a feature like a poor man's Sonos mullti-room audio solution. In other words, turning a tablet in the kitchen, TV in the living room and the phone in the den into local speakers for whole home audio.

If I am correct about what the OP has requested, while it is a nifty feature, I wouldn't want the battery drain and the burn in hours on the TV.
