At the I use a Pi+OpenElec in this fashion, mainly as a youtube target, but there are plugins for other streaming services too. The basic idea is you send it a stream URL and it plays that (if it can). The discovery of Pi on the local network and how to talk to it all happen over UPnP (/DLNA). I'm not sure on the subtitles side ; for example, I don't think there's support for overlays in the youtube streamer. You might need to investigate this further. Anyway, here's some of what I currently use. Clients (controller/sender) iPad: constellation Android: - Yatse (remote + "play on media centre" provider, when you click share in an app like Youtube) - BubbleUPnP: controller/player + can offer phone content as a media server. Bit clunky. - Linux: various, plus scripting possibilities! - Windows: don't really care, but I think media player can talk to UPnP targets Media library / server: iPad: ?? Android: BubbleUPnP Linux: I use mediatomb, but am interested in trying miniDLNA/ReadyMedia as a RPi car media gateway. pulseaudio-dlna is also quite neat if you're sending audio. Windows: media player can act as a library/server, if you click in the right places. I'm sure you can do this better than me! Hope that helps get you started. I'd be interested to hear what you end up with! Cheers, Mike. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
