Take care,

Subject: Accessable media devices
Hello all,
I am looking for a device which is able to stream audio and video from a
central server to a home theatre with a minimum of quality loss. There
appear to be devices which do this via ethernet or wlan but all seem to
require a piece of software on the server side to export the content which
wouldn't work in the case of a Linux server.
Further, the audio output on these things seem to be all rca lr where I'd be
looking for spdif or optical capable of transmitting ac3 directly for 5.1
output and lossless stereo.
I toyed with putting a pc into the home theatre room but it's too big and
won't fit into the stereo cabinet. My latest idea is a laptop with a
wireless network running Linux with a bluetooth keyboard and software
speech. The laptop should be thin enough to fit into the stereo stand.
I'm just not sure whether Linux will be able to support the spdif and
s/video outputs on the notebook and there's also the noise of the hard drive
to consider.
Have others undertaken the computer integration project.
Perhapse there is a wireless media receiver out there I don't know about
which can stream from a Samba or nfs share.
Best,
Shane
