i would love to find some way to be able to synchronize my xbox (and another 1 or 2) and my computer so that all of the rooms in my house can be playing the same stream in sync with each other.
the only product that i have found so far is the slimp3 line of hardware based products which all cost more than an xbox.

well, i did some more digging and it looks like someone did get a software based player to go with slimserver to allow synchronization, so if anyone knows how to port that over from java we would have an awesome stream player all done.

why not just stream from a shoutcast or icecast server over http, this is already possible and the audio should be in sync (in theory) :p

haven't seen this mentioned anywhere before, so i'll throw it up here:
i've got 3 xboxes at my house in 3 different rooms, all modded running xbmc. when i'm doing housework, and walking between rooms, i'm always wanting to have the same video or song playing in all my rooms. it would be awesome if xbmc was aware of other copies of itself running on the same network, and in knowing that, could 'slave' itself to another xbox and sync itself with what's already playing on it.
this sound useful to anyone else?

i was actually thinking something simmilar would be cool. my bro and i have all of the same media (we live in different houses) and it would be kind of cool to sync them up.

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.

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??
