How does this handle multiple players on the network?

[blysik]

I have a Heos Drive, and two Heos Links on my network. They have difference IPs and pids. How would I use this to specify which device I'm trying to control?

Thanks!

When I try to select a host manually, it doesn't seem to work. Is this correct syntax?

heos = Heos('192.168.55.176', verbose=True)

Even specifying an IP, it always seems to do the get_players call.

Let me give you both my sample program, and the output:

$ cat test.py

from heos.heos import *
host = '192.168.55.176'
heos = Heos(host,True)
info = heos.get_player_info()
heos.close()
print(info)
$ python3 ./test.py
'heos://player/get_players\r\n'

Sorry, but this isnt implemented, I only have one speaker. If you can stand one ugly solution you should be able to set heos._player_id to a pid of choice. Please patch, or I will probably update in the future.

That ugly workaround works! Thanks.
