[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 817241, member: 91446"] Simple ideas I can do - complex creation I can't :-) I suppose with Airplay, you have clients always waiting for connection and the information is "pushed" from the handheld device to the waiting device. This system would be sort of the opposite from that, where the media playing client would broadcast the fact that it can transmit media, and it would be down to the other clients to see this status and the users decide to connect and listen or not. This arrangement would need to be possible in both directions, depending upon which client started playing the music first. It would also need to be able to cope with setups where there are more than two clients and a third client might want to connect to one of a number of available media streams. I suppose it wouldn't necessarily need to only work for Music (one step at a time.....). If you are watching a film and need to peel the potatoes, then you could use the kitchen client to connect to the media and watch it remotely. Like the wife would let me have a kitchen client system :-) So, do you think it is possible? Does anyone have the time is the next question? Robbo100 [/QUOTE]
