Ok guys, I need to wirelessly transmit audio from my computer running mpd to speakers throughout the entire house (3BR, dining room, and living room)
any ideas?
Sonos devices do that
yeah but there's got to be a less expensive way
ahh you didn't say you wanted a half-assed solution. :)
like, can't I just output from my computer to a wireless receiver, and output from the receiver to speakers?
that's essentially what sonos is
well, it's not really a half-assed solution when Sonos does about 3times as much as what I'm looking for
I literally just want to run mpd, as I can already manage the media through my phone, computer, or any other device I might have handy
you might be able to get away with arduinos and a bit of programming
run a vlc server and client for streaming and distribution
I guess I'm not really understanding why that's necessary
I basically want to go computer -> some device that sends the sound to wireless speakers -> speakers
That has to be possible for less than $2k
why not just run a rca bale?
cable?
and use normal digital sp-dif
the wireless speakers prob have some in built wireless sender/receiver thing using 2.4 ghz messing with wifi
because I'm moving into base housing, and I don't want to drill holes in the ceilings, or have wires all over the place
oh
umm
you can get amps that can pull some from other places
although probably using that horrible media streaming protocol
dnla
err dlna
phlux: Apple Airports can do that. There is a plugin for PulseAudio on Linux that can stream to Airplay.
interesting
It does mean buying Apple devices though
whats wrong with that?
plett: That would only output to one room at once though, right?
Anyone know if there's a slowdown in LA somewhere or if it's just comcast?
LA is slow in general :)
