Hi Guys...

First of all, I'm in doubt where I should place this thread - and I'm sorry if I placed it in the wrong forum.

Currently I have a setup contains two Openelec machines (Asus EEE box and Raspberry Pi), two airport expresses(my office and the kitchen) and a airport extreme. For music player i use Spotify. Together with Spotify I use Airfoil, which makes it possible to play the same content to multiple speakers. Whenever I do that around the house, the Airport connected speakers plays the music in sync, but the xbmc machines has a different delay, which means that whenever I go through rooms, the music is out of sync, which is pretty annoying.

Is there anyway to change the airplay delay in XBMC, so I can get it in sync? And does the problem also occur for any of you?

Best

Audio sync via airplay is not supported in XBMC and is unlikely to happen (1. it would need support in the used library called "libshairplay" and 2. it would need support in XBMC after libshairplay supports it).
