Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for a software package for my existing linux file server / HTPC that can accomplish the following goals:
Also optionally, but ideally:
I've also considered the idea of essentially using something like Plex to serve music from this machine and something like shairport-sync to then stream that music, uh..., straight back to the same machine. Seems kinda silly though?
- Music library stored on local machine
- Headless playback to locally connected (& bluetooth) devices,
- Remote control via some sort of mobile ios/android/web app
Also optionally, but ideally:
- The ability to have separate simultaneous music playback and HTPC audio on different output device (e.g. so someone can listen to music while someone else watches a movie)
- The ability to stream music from this machine to a streaming device
- The ability to stream music to this machine (as if it were e.g. an AirPlay receiver)
I've also considered the idea of essentially using something like Plex to serve music from this machine and something like shairport-sync to then stream that music, uh..., straight back to the same machine. Seems kinda silly though?
