Hi Nick,
Since things have quieted down somewhat after the holidays I am starting to get re-engage with Indigo tinkering. I was excited to discover that when I create and execute a GA that the TV will resume playing at the volume it was set at prior to the GA. Way Cool!!! I just have a few items for feedback and refinement:
1. When music is playing, the track will restart after the GA executes. The volume does return to the previous setting though which is nice.
2a. As the GA begins to execute the volume of the music or TV will adjust a split second before the announcement plays. So if I have the TV playing at volume 30 and the GA is set to 50, the audio on the TV will get loud, then cut, then the GA will play, then the TV audio will resume at level 30.
2b. Also if I have a GA grouped with multiple speakers, the audio from the TV (Playbar) will momentarily bleed into the other speakers before the GA plays. I suspect this is because SONOS creates an ad hoc zone to execute the GA and then splits the speakers up when complete.
3. Pandora skips to the next track after a GA is played. (I don't wind but I wanted to provide feedback on the functionality)
Items 1, 2a & 2b only illustrate the perfectionist in me coming out and is just feedback provided if you wish to attempt future refinement if that is even technically possible. Otherwise I am very happy with the plugin!!!
Happy New Year!
