Queue synchronisation

Optional queue synchronisation and remote control

Documentation home

Experimental interoperability. This opt-in bridge is covered by simulated-service tests; compatibility with a particular real iBroadcast player still requires a live check and extra queue permissions. Keep it disabled if you only need local playback. If your device fails, report the device and exact message.

Connect or control a queue

1. Enable Settings → Devices & queue synchronisation → Enable queue synchronisation and remote control, then save.
2. Use Reconnect iBroadcast and approve user.queue:read and user.queue:write. Ordinary sign-in keeps the existing library/account scopes when this option is disabled.
3. Open Devices and choose Connect this app's queue. Restore the saved queue and explicitly play here, or replace it with your current local queue.
4. Choose Control [device] to join an available device's queue. Previous/Next, Play/Pause, position, volume and repeat control that device. The controller pauses its local audio, records no plays and never advances a finished track.
5. Disconnect queue stops the bridge without stopping the remote device. Disabling the option closes the connection. Only one browser tab owns a bridge; another tab can explicitly disconnect it before taking over.

If the connection drops, the bridge waits five seconds between reconnect attempts. Library-change notifications offer a manual reload rather than interrupting an edit. Queue synchronisation is independent of optional play reporting.
