Playbar group all controlled with TV remote
I already spoke with Sonos support so I know it is not currently possible, but how would I go about requesting the following functionality be added?
Currently I have a Playbar + two speakers in the rear of the room controlled by a Connect:AMP. If I set up the rear speakers as surrounds, I can control the 3 speakers with the TV remote but they will only work as surrounds in TV mode and I would like them to work in stereo (playing the same content as the playbar). I see that someone had requested the ability of these surrounds to play in stereo mode for music and that functionality has now been added to the software; playing the surrounds in "Full" mode instead of "Ambient", but that only applies to music and not TV.
The other option of course is to use the rear speakers as a separate zone and group them with the Playbar. This gives me the effect I want (all stereo), but then the TV remote only controls the Playbar, and I have to use my phone to adjust the volume in the rear speakers.
Can anyone come up with a software patch with the hooks to port a TV volume control to also control the volume of all speakers in the same group?
