Can I use Ubuntu as a wireless media server which performs all decoding/processing server-side?
- by AthloX
I want to setup UBUNTU 12.04 desktop as Home media server. I have window 7 netbook and UBUNTU 12.04lts laptop even a samsun galaxy note tablet (android). Two desktop in other room with dualboot win7 and ubuntu. SHARP AQUOS Plasma Tv with Wi-Fi connected.
I want to install ubuntu as media server to stream audio/video files over wi-fi.
Not only this i want this media server to use its own processing power to decode ans stream so that on remote end only file can play without using their own resource.
Is it possible to use ubuntu as media server to stream files without making the remote end to use there own resource. I want only bandwidth of Wi-Fi to be use in this and media center hardware resource.Remote end gadget should use only speaker and screen and not processing power of their own.
Please any suggestion is it possible to do so ?
