I'm already a user of several of your plugins so its no surprise that BLMediaPlayer is top notch just like the rest (and a much needed plugin now that HST no longer seems to support their Media Player plugin in HS3).
I am confused on the operation when it comes to events vs. devices vs. the Media Player Tab within the plugin.
However, it doesn't seem like there is any link between the actions I take using an event to either the device status or to the Media Player tab.
I honestly will never use the Media Player tab within the plugin, but I would like to be able to control the media library from the devices page. So if I start a playlist using an event, I'd like to see the status updated on the devices screen AND I'd like to be able to stop playing the playlist.
If this isn't possible, I could use the Media Player tab to stop the playlist, but that doesn't appear to work either.
Right now, if I start a playlist using an event, the only way I can stop it is using an event - is this the correct behavior?
It also doesn't seem like any of the options on the Options tab take effect when using events...particularly, the "While Homeseer is Speaking" option. Not a huge deal since I can manage this with additional event actions, but it would be nice.
Also, it would be great if you could group the devices. I've written a script that allows me to set up device groupings myself, but I don't like doing that for devices managed by plugins for fear that it will screw something up (although I've done it for some and it hasn't caused an issue).
Thanks,
Scott

- I can control my media library from within the Media Player Tab.
- I can use events to start or stop a playing a playlist.
- If I am using the Media Player tab within the plugin, I can see what is playing on the devices page.
