First off, i am still using a nightly from pre-beta1
Things may have already changed, and i think i saw a post saying its broken in beta 2 anyway - not sure.
My point...
When using "Play Using" the controlling version of XBMC seems to stay permanently connected to that instance whilst the file is playing.
Is this the expected outcome?
I my use case, i would want to use the Play Using from my front room to start something in another room in the house for someone else, but then carry on with what i am watching in the living room. At the moment this doesnt look to be possible, have i just missed part of this new feature?
Same if i was playing music, id want to throw a track at another xbmc instance and have that playing, but then be able to load up a video or stream and have the music uninterupted on the other instance.
Would selecting play using local, after selecting play using another upnp client, stop the other instance or just disconnect from it, and keep it playing?
I hope this makes sense and isnt too much of a mad ramble.
