Hi all!
I am using XBMC with my own content and with plug-ins in the living room. XBMC runs on a Mac Mini connected to the main TV and to my broadband router using cable. Wifi is available.
Now i am planning to build something that allows me to watch the same content and the same plug-ins in the bedroom. What is the easiest way to do this? I guess i need some kind of device (netbook, Raspberry Pi, Apple TV?) to run XBMC on and hook it up to the Mac Mini storage somehow (SMB, NFS?).
Again, i want to see the same content as i have it on my Mac Mini in the living room. Remote control is a must. I want to stick the device behind the TV and forget about it.
Who had done a setup like this before? What did you use? How did you solve issues like the remote control, remote storage, etc?
Any links to get me started would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ton.
