Garbage – Play-Fi Review

I upgraded sound bars just to have Play Fi so I wouldn't have to turn on all of my home theater components to AirPlay. Initially it worked fine. Now updates repeatedly fail and it takes hours to do simple firmware upgrades. It also shows multiple instances of the same sound bar so when I try to play music it shows its playing yet you hear no audio or you get errors that the sound bar is being controlled by another user. There's no easy way (that I've found at least) to delete either one or both instances of the sound bar so now I'm back where I started except I actually paid specifically to ugprade my sound bar to have a feature that no longer works. And herein lies the problem with technology - instead of manufacturer's implementing AirPlay, they had to go and reinvent the wheel with DTS and when it doesn't work - you're at the mercy of DTS to make things work because the manufacturer's are going to point the finger at DTS and DTS the manufacturers. Extremely frustrating.
