Great solution based on websocket!.
My Vision: A web based VLC-type webplayer (capable of VLC level features) with support to distribute Audio channels over connect devices.
Here me out:
- Mac as display(Movies screen)
- iPad as a Center channel
- 4 iPhones as LR and rear channels, (and something for LFE).
Is it Practical? sound cool in my head. What do you guys think??
- dsr_ 1y agoIt is not practical unless you already have all the devices. Let's suppose that you are paying half the new price for the bottom-tier of each of these: MBA: 500 iPad mini: 250 iPhone 16e: 300 * 4 Your budget is $1950. For that, you can get: A 50" 4K TV, a Denon X1700H 7.2 receiver, 6 Klipsch R51M speakers, and a half-decent subwoofer, all new. This will provide a far superior experience for you and a half-dozen friends, and each part will last longer, have no permanent battery to wear out, and be upgradable independently and without relying on a specific software product. I would estimate the lifetime of your proposal at about 3 years, and of my counter-proposal at 20 years. Yours is much more portable.
- pete1302 1y agoI was eagerly expecting such practical breakdown of the Vision. Thanks for the numbers. But, the scenario is of a Open-Source solution for a Student living in a Hostel/ Home. The Vision is tilted towards Hostel Dorms where you won't bother a Home Theater, but where every friend has Apple device( any robust device with good onboard audio). My Friend himself has a MBPRO and 2 iPhones, Totalling to 6 Apple device( Audio Sinks).
