Title: Synchronized playback on 3 computers
Post by: water1 on December 24, 2004, 07:05:43 pm

Is there a way to synchronize playback on 3 computers where one is the media server? I want the playlist to synchronized so I hear the same music as I move from room to room. Using MC10.

Yes and no. Not with software, but with hardware. SPDIF out cable from the main computer to spdif in on the other two (most sound cards have digital CD in if they're not too low end), and just switch on and off the digital input as needed (automation with Girder is of course my choice, but not necessary - regular computer input is permissible, altnough not very elegant...).
