Hello all.
So I have a dream. That dream is to have a home media server that can be controlled remotely (tablets, smartphones) that is also capable of serving media to different zones of the house. The goal here is to be able to have four to five different zones that can have the same music simultaneously (for a party) or individually (for the family).
How would a person achieve this? I understand how to do this for one set of speakers, but I'm at a loss of what hardware (connection-wise) or software I would need to accomplish this. Does XMBC have multi-room solutions? How would the computer be able to connect to that many speaker systems at once? Thanks for any help you can give!
