Control player from server.

May have missed this, but have trolled the forums and thrown a few key words into the search without luck. Simply put - is it possible to have 1 centralised "controller" device such as a tablet or laptop logged into the SS server as admin and tell it to send audio, be it a song or a playlist to a specific player - or does the control always have to come from the client end? - eg. client has to request songs/playlists from the server.

Essentially can I tell the SS Server to start to play a playlist on a certain player automatically? all on local LAN of course.

Any input would be dandy.

Cheers guys,

Mungo.

Correct - but I believe a request has been made to allow SS to control / send output to a specific player/device.

Sweet, thanks for the confirmation Pewsey. Much appreciated :D Hopefully it's something to look forward to in a future release.
