| Alright, so the plan is for this repository, I want to create an audio media streaming interface for my home network. And there's a few things I want to roll into this one too.<br><br>Number 1 is media playback. So I have a volume on the NAS called AudioShare. The NAS is 10.0.0.50. So connect to the NAS, you'll find the AudioShare volume and let's mount that as the media library. It'll have a lot of tracks already populated.<br><br>Second thing is a soundboard. So I'll create a folder within that audio share volume called soundboard. And in the soundboard I just upload some stupid sound effects I do one to start it off Like laughing sound.<br><br>And then I also want to create a intercom system. and the functionality for the intercom is that from this computer, sorry from the interface which will be audio.residence.jlm.com I'd like to have the push to talk and the start and stop. PUSH TO TALK<br><br>So for the speaker networking this is where I would like you to give me your thoughts on what makes the most sense So I've used before MPD. I've installed MPD clients on... So the devices are, there is a device called Nursery Pi in SSH. Bedroom Pi, R-Pi and Smart TV. Each one is connected to a speaker. That's the network.<br><br>I tried MPD, putting an MPD client on each device. MPD has been the most reliable But it seems kind of a pity to use this when there are protocols like SnapServer that are designed specifically for this use case. However, using Home Assistant, I found SnapServer to be very buggy. I could never really get it to work and many more and the system that's reliable.<br><br>I find with MPD, because you need to select the speaker on the client devices, those bindings frequently broke. So I'd like to have something that kind of, the speakers are really never going to change. In the sense that I'm going to, I have a sound card for the Raspberry Pi. That's the speaker. and for as long as I use this system that's gonna be the configuration. So I want to set up something that once it's in place it's pretty much just gonna work.<br><br>So I leave that call up to you and please create a... Create a folder in the repository providing your recommendations just before you begin and what you suggest as the best implementation for the multi-speaker network whether it is broadcasting to a bunch of MCD clients from the Web UI or whether it's creating a single Snap server or something else that manages the networking I don't envision much of a need to select individual speakers by which I mean, I think that for the most part the occasions I'm using this I'll just play media to the pool but of course it would be nice to be able to select that ! |
