Abstract
An example implementation may involve a control device receiving, from a first playback device of a media playback system, a calibration state variable indicating that the first playback device is uncalibrated. The control device may cause a graphical interface to display an indication that the first playback device is uncalibrated. The control device may also cause the graphical interface to display a selectable control that, when selected, initiates calibration of the first playback device. Based on detecting selection of the selectable control, the control device may initiate calibration of the first playback device.
Claims20
A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by one or more processors to cause a control device of a media playback system to perform a method, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a graphical display, a control interface comprising controls to modify a zone configuration of one or more playback devices of the media playback system, wherein a particular playback device is configured into a first zone of the media playback system having a first zone name, and wherein the first zone of the media playback system is calibrated;
- receiving, via the displayed control interface, input data representing a command to configure the particular playback device into a second zone of the media playback system, the second zone having a second zone name;
- in response to the input data, sending, via a network interface, one or more messages that instruct the particular playback device to join the second zone of the media playback system;
- and
- based on the particular playback device joining the second zone of the media playback system, updating the displayed control interface to indicate (i) that the second zone includes the particular playback device and (ii) that the second zone is uncalibrated.
A method to be performed by a control device of a media playback system, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a graphical display, a control interface comprising controls to modify a zone configuration of one or more playback devices of the media playback system, wherein a particular playback device is configured into a first zone of the media playback system having a first zone name, and wherein the first zone of the media playback system is calibrated;
- receiving, via the displayed control interface, input data representing a command to configure the particular playback device into a second zone of the media playback system, the second zone having a second zone name;
- in response to the input data, sending, via a network interface, one or more messages that instruct the particular playback device to join the second zone of the media playback system;
- and
- based on the particular playback device joining the second zone of the media playback system, updating the displayed control interface to indicate (i) that the second zone includes the particular playback device and (ii) that the second zone is uncalibrated.
A control device comprising:
- a network interface;
- a graphical display;
- one or more processors;
- a housing, the housing carrying at least the network interface, the graphical display, the one or more processors, and a computer-readable media having stored therein instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the control device to perform a method comprising:
- displaying, on the graphical display, a control interface comprising controls to modify a zone configuration of one or more playback devices of a media playback system, wherein a particular playback device is configured into a first zone of the media playback system having a first zone name, and wherein the first zone of the media playback system is calibrated;
- receiving, via the displayed control interface, input data representing a command to configure the particular playback device into a second zone of the media playback system, the second zone having a second zone name;
- in response to the input data, sending, via the network interface, one or more messages that instruct the particular playback device to join the second zone of the media playback system;
- and
- based on the particular playback device joining the second zone of the media playback system, updating the displayed control interface to indicate (i) that the second zone includes the particular playback device and (ii) that the second zone is uncalibrated.
