Bugzilla – Bug 12156
Enable issuing of commands to players on other servers
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:31:31 UTC
I've got remarks from several users that have trouble understanding the concept of having players bound to different music sources. I would like to be able to separate the Music Source from the player control. The way to do this for me would be to keep one connection for NowPlaying (to the server the current player is connected to) and one for the database itself. I would consider this only for those players and servers that are known to each other - that is the players that will be shown on a serverstatus query. This enhancement request would allow to issue any command to a player that is currently not connected but known to a server. The only difference to the current procedure is that in this case, the server would take over control of the player before issuing the command.
