[QUOTE="cubii, post: 852383, member: 26383"] Hi i think i have the same wishes than rsbrux and i am using mediaportal since years. And this will be a long post! First: Music and videos should be separated. Why?: Because Mediaportal is not designed to be a multi room audio player. Just for multiroom Tv. I am experimenting with many music players. I want the possibility to have different music in every room, but sometimes i want the same music in every room. This is not possible with mediportal until now... So my solution is (and this is just theoretical, just tried some parts of this solution) : Use one of the following players for music: j.river mediacenter: can be used for multiroom audio with two or more soundcards, or with gizmo (an android app) with nearly synchronized sound. use squeezeplayer/ Logitech mediaserver: Softwareplayer and controller for android/Windows/and ios and ofcource the hardware players that exist or airplay from apple (also via android or ios device or xbmc-device) (but this wont give different sound only sync) This means for music you have one server and clients with ios/android or windows/linux (squeezeplayer) And for tv mediaportal in combination with the android plugin (ampdroid or else) this should also work (but not perfectly sync but the same program on all clients. ( so windows/linux(xbmc) clients or android clients) Videos are a bit more complicated, but i cant think about a user scenario where nearly sync video is needed (apart from musicvideos -> solution is to watch music tv..;) .) If you want to watch the end of a movie in for example the sleeping room, mediaportal can remember the watched position of the movie and starts playing it from there. (This would? only work with windows clients) Some points to think about / to try: Mediaportal and many other musicplayers can use the itunes library as a source, this could help to have only one point where the music database has to be managed. a good client could also be the raspberry one, a arm-linux device for only under 40 dollar (with openelec/ xbmc with airplay, pvr plugin for watching tv via MP and squeezeplayer plugin) but i cant test it until i have one. So this post is just summarizing all my thoughts and also some experiments about the multi room audio and video Problem, i am open for any suggestions, or questions... [/QUOTE]
