Hello everybody,
Huh, it's been a while... :-)
I'm interested in your suggestions/experience regarding multimedia tools for streaming audio and possibly also video via LAN (mostly WiFi), played back on multiple client machines, with little to no latency.
You know --- say I want to play some music on my laptop in the living room, and I want to hear the same thing play on another computer in the kitchen, and another one in the garage, etc... ;-)
Ideally, it should be low-latency, in the sense that playback should be synchronized across devices. Like, if two machines are playing in two rooms, and I'm in the hallway in between them, I shouldn't hear any offset between the two playbacks.
I'm looking for Linux-centric solutions in general, but mostly from Fedora or CentOS land. It should do audio, while video would probably depend on the WiFi speed, I guess.
So far, I've been thinking of a DIY combination of bash scripts and mplayer, but I guess it's easier to try out something that someone already made, before I end up mocking up the whole thing from scratch myself.
Looking for any pointers and suggestions (including keywords for google). ;-)
TIA, :-) Marko
