I've been using synchronised players for years but only stumbled upon this recently. In this example there are 3 synched players, 2 Radios and one Touch. The Radios are both on standby, the Touch is playing. If I now turn off one of the Radios entirely by long press on the power button the Touch stops playing and can not be convinced to start again for a good while. I looks like LMS can't distinguish pressing the power button on the Radio briefly - thus turning the Radio on - from a long press shutting the Radio down.
In the server log it looks like this (full log attached below):
A bit later, restarting playback fails because the player that is now off won't start playing
I suspect this is not intended? Synching is fairly robust against switching players to/from standby and even just disconnecting the power but a proper shutdown doesn't work? Shouldn't LMS detect the missing player?
In the server log it looks like this (full log attached below):
