Synchronize music/video multicast-stream playback to multiple instances of XBMC

hello all

i am looking to be able to play media on my pc or xbox and get playback at the same time on the other, but have no idea where to start or if it is even possible, cheers for any ideas you might have

its not supported... tho, you *may* be able run the vlc server on your pc and play a file while re-streaming it to the xbox. but even if this is possible, i dont know if they would be in sync.

i was wondering if there is anyway to have what music is playing on my pc to play on the xbox at the same time

no, though you could kick off a common playlist on both your computer and the xbox but dont expect the playback to be sync'ed.

hi

i've got a couple of xboxes running xbmc at home. sometimes (when we have a party) it would be nice to have them all play the same piece of music at the same time (they are located in different rooms around the house). of course i could setup a shoutcast server, but then i'd have to make a playlist on the server, rather than on the xbox,making is all less flexible.....
is there another way to accomplish this??

here's what i want...

i want to be able to play/stream mp3s on one xbox [say in my bedroom] and hear them there, and then be able to have my 2nd xbox [in my livingroom] pickup the stream and play the audio as well. thus filling my entire house with the same music.

i know the xbmc already has the ability to listen to streaming shoucast, but i also want the ability to play/stream it. this could turn the xbox into a private or even public streaming internet radio station.

i have 2 xboxs the run xbmc almost exclusively. (one upstairs, one downstairs) i've found it invaluable for being able to quickly pull up a movie for my daughter without having to hassle with dvds and also use it quite a bit for playing music.

since the xbox already has autodetection built in and is able to communicate between xboxs, how hard would it be to have it automatically play the same video or audio file to both at once?

i had originally thought this would be a very small niche of people that might be able to use this, but obviously if there is enough interest to add autodetection there must be a significant number of people like myself with multiple xbmc's running.


thank you,

jeff

recommend you add a button to home page for autodection to stream off an autodetected xbox.

vis tag is ...... system.autodetection
onclick to run it is ..... xbmc.activatewindow(my files,autodetection)

hi!!!

i've wonder .. if it can be used to stream music, for example:

i have an xbox in my bedroom and another in my room, i start to listen one album, in the bedroom, and i would like to keep listening in my room...

it is possible to have some kind of feature that alow me to listen to the same music in the 2 xbox's?!

thanks in advance....

and a great thanks for the xbmc

yes it can be used for that when v2 is standised ill release a pm3 modded skin that allows streaming for any deltected xbox or transfering via home page
