I have tried playing an MP3 called "rooster.mp3" using the group announcement file setting.
- mp3.png (129.19 KiB) Viewed 546 times
2 main observations:
scenario 1: executing while there is no other song playing
scenario 2: executing while there is another song playing
scenario 1:
When there is nothing playing through the target ZonePlayer , I get the following UPnP Error 701, indicating that SoCo is trying to pause a player that is not playing, so cannot be paused. (Note: This error does not always throw when nothing is playing) It does not play the rooster.mp3 file.

I'm not sure if these are issues we can fix within the plugin or whether the underlying libraries need updates. I'm happy to help where I can if there are some folks willing to dig in deeper.
