Hi all, My wife and I are going to start building a house in the next month or so. One of the things I intend to do is run network and speaker wiring through the walls, from a central server closet to each room. What I have in mind is to build a MythTV media server, with the ability to send audio and/or video out through independent channels to each room. So if my wife is in her hobby room, she can use her laptop to access the server, and tell it to start a specific music playlist and send it to the hobby room's speakers. Meanwhile, I can be sitting in my den with my own laptop, and tell the server to send my own playlist to that room's speakers, or perhaps send a TV show or movie to the TV and speakers in that room. One of my design goals is to NOT require a computer in every room, except maybe a laptop to access the server and tell it where to send the output. I'm not sure if we need to install separate sound and video cards for each room, or what. I've only just started doing some research on this, so I haven't really RTFM yet. Just hoping to get a few pointers from those of you who have done the same or similar. -- Dave Sherman MCSA, MCSE, CCNA Linux: Because rebooting is for adding new hardware. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
