I tried to pull playing content from my tv setup to tablet and vice versa.

I have 12.2 dsplayer on the tvsetup and latest official nightly for android on the tablet.
On the tablet, when nothing is played on the tv side, the plugin shows "Idle" for the tv host so it looks like communication works fine.
But when I play or pause a video on the tv side, I get "Could not connect to network server" and script failed on the tablet.

Log from the tablet side: http://pastebin.com/PkZzJb9N

The other way it works. But it does not resume on the current play position in the video (is this implemented?).
Videos are on another server with smb and mysql db, all devices share the same sources.xml.

Is it possible to have an option the same as transfer that doesnt stop the current playlist on the Host?

ie: I have music playing in the lounge, but then find myself in another room. I would like to mirror what is playing in the lounge whilst still letting the lounge continue playing for other family members to enjoy.

I guess I have the same question when using Send - is it is possible to leave the Host playing after sending to the Remote?

Also, one issue I found. If Shuffle is enabled (on either Host or Remote) you dont quite get the matched effect of having the playlist start in several several rooms at the same point on the same file, because the Remote playlist immediately starts with a different (shuffled) file than what is playing on the Host, and vice versa. Using SendTo needs to set Shuffle to off on each machine.

Obviously this is not an issue when just transferring one Movie, but it is more so with a Music playlist, especially because I dont think there is a way to see that Shuffle is enabled, or to disable it, until Music is actually playing (which is then too late because you are already unmatched...).

Is there any chance that Pulling and Sending can also set Shuffle to off on both the Host and the Remote machine so that the Music remains matched ? (unless of course someone manully changes it, nothing that can be done about that except to Pull or Send again)

Can you point me in the right direction about how to add this to a Skin?

THANK YOU

On the other machines opening the Pull window to display Remote devices takes 1-2 seconds - On the aTV2 it takes maybe 30 seconds... It also took so long adding the Remotes in the first place.

I guess something is not right somehow. Let me know if you need a Log, or what the next step is please

PS: my other normal access to the aTV2 all works fine, including from the xbmc remote app on my iPhone.
But one difference is that the aTV is connected to the network via ethernet, and other devices with wifi (not that it should matter, should it?)

1. In addition to Transfer now Playing there is also "Copy Playlist starting here" this could be what you are looking for. It will leave the locally playing media alone.
2. Right now it is not possible to "send" the file and still leave it playing. I suppose in theory this could be added an option in the settings.

Again (this is going to get old!) some devices have really slow lookup times on local hostnames - at least that I've noticed. Even if using DHCP on your local network, most devices will always get the same IP if used regulary so try using the IP address when adding them. I've set this up for friends and using IP vs hostname made an extreme difference in speed.
