linux - streaming HD video over home network -

-

just looking advice, pointers, , suggestions further reading.

i have:

  1. 1 router
  2. 1 linux server (ubuntu 10.04)
  3. 2 tvs
  4. various speakers
  5. 2 desktops
  6. 1 ipad

i want make home network given request server (perhaps request php script or something) server can start streaming audio or video device. think easier things can have ips (desktop, ipad, etc) not sure others (i don't have ip tv). on wireless, may need ethernet hd video, etc.

what can recommend? i've been recommended mbone. maybe problem stems form fact don't understand how push streaming video tv, "dumb" (no processor or ip address).

i'd forget writing (unless want academic excercise). instead, upnp/dlna.

  • get upnp server linux box. mediatomb come highly recomended.
  • for tvs can boxee or seagate freeagent/goflex.
  • i think existing players in windows/ubuntu support dlna extent, xbmc.
  • for ipad media:connect
  • to push media server player, dlna control points (paid version of media:connect can that. or andromote if have android phone)
  • wifi fine 720p, 1080p dts impossible.

having said of that, ymmv. i've found many commercial products (connected tvs especially) hate mkv , dts (forget dts-ma or dolby truehd) on dlna, if can play them connected usb drive. many networked media players have problems on upnp/dlna while work on windows/samba share.

i, personally, having spent plenty of time , money on various combinations, have stuck old samba share on nas drive serving seagate media player. computers have access too. ipad may have problem though.
