Problem with multizone audio. Only plays in one of 2 zones

[khilan]

Hi there,
Firstly, I'd like to say that xlobby is a great piece of software! I'm trying to get multizone audio setup. I have 2 zones: room1 and room2 with the respective winamp instances here:

C:\Program Files\xlobby\multizone\room1\winamp.exe
C:\Program Files\xlobby\multizone\room2\winamp.exe

Both winamp instances are configured for different sound outputs and play correctly if I just use the winamp instance directly. However, I'm having trouble from my PPC client.

I've added the zones to the main server and have XNET on. I have setup two folders on my PPC client called room1 and room2 with the servers.txt file modified so that I have zone:room1 and zone:room2.

However, the problem is that after starting up xlobby on the server. Whichever zone I control first, is the zone that all subsequent connections use. So if I control room1 first and then close the room1 instance of the PPC client and then fire up the room2 instance, it will still play on room1. And the vice versa happens if i start the room2 instance first.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Khilan

I use the commands zone>next and zone>previous to scroll through the available zones and a text box zone>current to show the zone being controlled.

Cheers rhinoman, I tried that and it worked perfectly.
