I currently use Mediatomb as a server and have Panasonic UPnP players. They are mainly Bluray players but do more, including play .flac files. But they each connect separately and play their own streams independently. What I would like to do is have each unit play the same music stream. It would be like having multiple radios in my home set to the same station. Is there a Linux solution for this? Cheers -- Stephen

I recently came across this: https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync AirPlay audio player. Shairport Sync adds multi-room capability with Audio Synchronisation which seemed interesting. And also made a note of this on multi-room audio with Raspberry Pi: http://www.redsilico.com/multiroom-audio-raspberry-pi Hope that helps - cheers!

I have used runeaudio on rasberry pi. It has a nice web interface and is reasonably easy to use. But it is a bit quirky and I have found it to crash from time to time. I was looking at trying to get something like multicast running where any player could multicast what its playing and the other players could subscribe. On 01/13/2016 10:22 AM, Stephen wrote:

Is there a Linux solution for this?
