shoould audio play on every fpp instance ?

i thought only the player would output audio ?

if the remotes do output audio then excellent
means i can add speakers to a closer FPP isntance than the main player

else , how did i stuff this up ?
only noticed because my two BBB boards are outputting to dummy audio as they have none

you need to avoid uploading the media via fpp connect to remotes, now that you have just go in and delete the files on the fpps

If a remote has the media, it will play it. You can add speakers to a remote if you want. (my push button speakers are on a remote). That said, if the remote doesn't need it, it's just wasting CPU power to process the media and SD card bandwidth and such.

You likely caused this by selecting media for all instances instead of just the instances that actually need the audio.

excellent, saved space, and now know i can use the audio output on a closer device to the speakers
