You'd only group them in the WHA, and play to the UPnP interface of the WiiM group from LMS. All you're doing is telling WiiM to play this track from this URL and WiiM sync does the rest.

Yes it should be in sync. It's just like playing to a group from BubbleUPnP.

You should be able to group all your WiiMs in the WHA and play to the group from LMS using the UPnP bridge.

It's a slightly more advanced UI but it corrupts all the content!

Just don't make the mistake of accepting "Advanced Mode" when selecting MinimServer in the WHA!

Scrolling through hundreds is still ridiculous (your artist index having selected a letter); that's what search is for.

If I had to use the Ultra for indexing I'd likely use folder view too, and search when I'm after something/someone specific.

I wonder if it's because Lyrion/Squeezelite needs to control the timing/sync? If you were to play to the WiiM group over the UPnP bridge it should work.

@_Wata_ I suggest you send feedback through the WHA (More > Feedback) about adding an AlbumArtist index. Do you have another server you could use as the onboard indexing is quite limited?

You're correct in your approach of tagging albumartist with 'Various Artists" for compilations as WiiM doesn't use the compilation tag. Albums being split by track artist has affected the Ultra for some time now, but I thought - at least from the release notes - that release v5.2.720535 fixed...

Just remove SampleRate and BitDepth from the select clause, so it reads select a.path from mediaitems ... If you have any problems just send me a message.

Are you copying sections from previous posts and pasting them in quote blocks as I'm not getting notified of replies (notice my name is missing from the quoted block)? The easiest way to browse the database is to use a GUI, something like DB Browser for SQLite (on a copy of the database), but...

I don't use Emby but I've just had a quick look at the database and it's pretty straightforward, at least it is as far as my example goes. Let's say we wanted a playlist of 200 random Pop music tracks from the 90's: select a.path from mediaitems a inner join...

Emby uses sqlite on the backend so you could probably use that (library.db) to create playlists based on Genre, Date/OriginalReleaseDate e.t.c.

Disabling a UI element (play/pause) isn't going to prevent any of these issues unless they're being caused by ghost presses. These sound like bugs/behaviours that need fixing.
