Play Control

PATCH /setplaycontrol

Parameters

Parameter	Data Type	Value
serial	string, required	the serial number of a vssl device
number	integer, required	the zone number.
playState	integer, required	0-resume, 1-stop, 2-pause.

note: stopping a stream will disconnect the client as will pausing an Airplay stream.

note2: streams (Airplay, Chromecast, Spotify.Connect) have higher priority than analog inputs. Therefore, if both input types are playing to a zone then the higher priority will play. Likewise, if both types of input are playing to a zone and the stream is stopped then the zone will switch to playing the lower priority content.
