I have a new mbp and my G5 with an optical connection to my speakers. Is their someway to stream the audio out of my mbp to my G5 over my network?
Not sure exactly if this is what you want, but you can definitely share your iTunes library on the MBP and play any of the tunes from there on your G5 using the standard iTunes sharing.Rokem said:Is their someway to stream the audio out of my mbp to my G5 over my network?
While the OP hasn't explained what the goal is and why iTunes sharing is not ideal, nettunes which was mentioned before essentially does exactly that.wwooden said:Are you trying to stream to the G5 while controlling the music from the MBP? I haven't seen any programs that can do that.
Yeah, an Airtunes client. Unfortunately this might not fly since it would give you a real easy path to take M4P to Apple Lossless.robbieduncan said:Rogue Amoeba are you listening?
Probably that VLC can be used to stream media over a network, and can be remotely controlled through a web interface.Rokem said:to the person who recomended vlc, what are you trying to point out?
Furthermore, maintaining sync between the audio and video is next to impossible when you use "remote speakers" from the machine decoding the video. It's much better to stream or access the file itself from the network and render both the audio and video on the notebook.telecomm said:Probably that VLC can be used to stream media over a network, and can be remotely controlled through a web interface.
