Smart Home Automation with Linux- Part 5

Smart Home Automation with Linux- P5:For every word I’ve written, five have been discarded. Such is the nature of writing. For every ten programs I’ve downloaded, tried, and tested, nine have been discarded. Such is the nature of software. Finding a perspicuous overlap has been a long and arduous tasks, and one that I’d wish for no one to suffer in solitude. | CHAPTER 3 MEDIA SYSTEMS Other Functionality Other features available in MVPMC include the following Access of data from MythTV or ReplayTV VNC Viewer Streaming live web radio Their setup requirements are straightforward enough and covered in the online documentation and so won t be covered here. The Xtremer This is one of several devices that plays back media files through a TV or HiFi system. Its low price point and inclusion of HDMI make it a good foray into media streamers. It is a good test unit since it supports media playback from its internal disk an external drive or the network both wired and wireless. This makes it suitable for trying different configurations without buying additional boxes. In addition to music and movies it also supports image previews weather reports and live streaming from YouTube Picasa and Flickr. Squeezebox This device was launched in 2003 and is one of several that acts like an audio-only version of the MediaMVP with a similar scope for hackability. It also works on a client server arrangement. The server in this case is a set of open source Perl scripts called SqueezeCenter formerly SlimServer running on Linux Mac OS X and Windows. This provides the clients with the audio data for your locally stored music and a way of connecting to external sources such as Internet radio or your Mp3tunes music locker. It is also able to control the client machines by sending them commands. The server itself doesn t play audio although you could run a software client on the same physical machine to transparently achieve the same result. You then need one or more client machines that is head units to play the music in a remote room connected by either a wired or wireless network. This head unit can be as follows Squeezebox Classic with display and outputs to a HiFi amplifier Squeezebox Receiver without display controlled remotely Squeezebox Boom with display built-in amplifier and speakers Transporter reportedly a higher-quality playback engine A
