Create multiple groups with same speakers

Answered
Andre Camp

I would like to create multiple groups with the same speakers.

1: 2 pulse flex speakers playing stereo

2: Soundbar 2i en 2 pulse flex as a home cinema group

3: All speakers playing stereo

 

Could you please add this feature?

Grouping/ungrouping is no option.

 

Thank you!

    I had some hopes for BluOS 4.0 to fix this freakin' 5 years old issue. Last nail in the coffin for Bluesound, I guess. At least on a personal level. Happy to communicate that experience whenever the chance arises.

    I'm curious as to WHY Bluesound refuses to implement this?

    Past explanations point to an impossibility to implement this based on the design of their system. Which is why there could be hope if this release is a major redesign…

    ...multiple groups with double speaker in it, is a "basic" function, this function is needed and important... Werner   PS: every Server Software has this function !!!

     @Thierry: Sorry to say, seems like all hope is gone after five years of nothing.

    If the redesign would allow that, they would announced that but I think it's more of a design in redesign than a redo of the code to do this kind of changes.

    Will see what one can program around using the api/http interface...

    Can you group for e.g. a home theater group but still address individual speakers via roon?

    @Tony W. can you at least share what you are doing with this topic instead of sharing you are reading it? It would give some comfort in at least understanding what progress you guys made on this heavy topic in the last period(s).

    I bought two pulse flex 2i and the first thing I tried doing was to create multiple groups with them. I was shocked that it is not possible, specially after reading this 5 years old thread. I cannot fathom how this wasn’t set as the highest priority for the product development back then. It is such a simple ask. This feature is a deal breaker, I’m begging to put it at the top of the backlog.

    I read somewhere that Sonos had a legal fight with Google over a patent on something similar. Perhaps Bluesound is afraid to comment based on fears of legal action. You could try to check that with Bluesound since it seems this thread has been marked Answered which I assume means they ignore it.

    Hey emil,

    You can scroll three posts above yours and see that there was a rather 'unsatisfying' reaction yet again with a BS-rep. Impressive example how to aggressively not share any info :D

    Maybe you're right with some legal issues but only if I would know I would have been able to patiently wait and sort that out knowing that it is not BS' fault really...

    But I don't expect anything from this company any more :)

    Hi krang I’ve seen that been following this thread since 2017 I’m tying to provoke a good answer. I suspect there is a backstory since no product management can be so non transparent without a backstory

    This was my first thing that came to my mind when buying two extra pulse flexes. After 5 years its not implemented... come on...
