Rioplay xPL the plan

[Tony T]

Hi all,

Just wanted to run this plan past people with regards to synchronisation
and
announcements.

The plan is:

Create a pc based program that reponds to the same commands as the xpl
rio's, and extracts tracks from jrec/original server software.

Rio's in 'synch' mode will get their music from this program, on the fly,
rather than direct from the Server software.
(It will also send rio.synch packets to keep the designated rio's in synch,
as well as messages to inform the selected rios that they are in the synch
group, that way rios will hopefully be able to join/leave the synch
group(s)
on the fly as well)

This program will also be responsible for 'injecting' tts announcements
into
the playing stream.

This all sounds a lot easier than it is, of course.

But can anyone spot any major flaws I may have missed, before I get
started?

Many thanks
Tony
