Use MM with Multiple DLNA Devices?

Post by VideoNinja »

I have several DLNA receivers in my house. Is it possible to stream music from MM to multiple receivers at the same time? For example, I want to send the same music to a system in the basement and family room during a party.

No, you can't stream the same to multiple clients. Multiple clients can stream simultaneously, but each their own stream.

Hi,
This is something we are thinking about to implement. Main issue is how to sync multiple various devices apps and manufacturers lagless as possible.

I presume that it will be really hard to get actual (to the millisecond) simultaneous playback working so you wouldn't notice the timing difference.

Exactly, Main problem is buffering that some apps apply in order to compensate packet drops.

The music would be playing in different zones so sync should not be a big concern, likely not even noticable.

Probably true for some users, but not all.
