I know this message is old but I have just installd my second Media Director and am also having trouble with this feature. Does anyone have it working?
The first problem I was having was that VLC needed some libraris that was not available. I copied libdbus-1.so.0 & libdbus-glib-1.so.0 from an old backup to solve that. However I still get no sound when switching to multiple. I actually dont get any sound if I run vlc by hand either
Now I get the following on the DCErouter tail -20 Spawn_vlc_s_3_19434.logVLC media player 0.8.2-svn Janus
