Ive been wondering same thing. Short answer is: it wont. With open pandora theres two obstacles: u can only launch 1 instance of application (this is not however inherent from pandora, so mayby if we plead to author...) also u cant set it to output specific sound renderer...

Long answer is mayby, if somebody comes up with clever hack...

EDIT: all that applies if u are driving zones with one host... ofcourse its entirely different story if u have host on each zone...

Also i have no luck with CTRL+WIN+PG DN / UP hotkeys (station change)... anybody else has same prob?

No problem with stations here.

I just realized my screen is not what I though. I want to use tablet/thin client for music and won't be able to see the app to tell which station I'm on. Oh well close enough.

As for problems with the global keys.....

I have been playing around with this (I remotely run it on another machine via PowerHome) and seen that the global keys that I send it become active ONLY AFTER you click once on the MacromediaFlash player (ie....like to keep it in focus).

However, even with the class name or handle number, I am unable to "specify" the focus to this obect (I don't want to have to click it each time I pull the player up). Anyone have any other ideas?

In Girder I use the exe as "OPENPANDORA.EXE" and child class as "MACROMEDIAFLASHPLAYERACTIVEX". This works even if the player isn't focused.
