Forum:How to broadcast

When I watch fitness videos for example I might want to see the same on different screens - The TV where Screenplay is connected and computers in my network.

What would be the best way to achieve this with the Screenplay? (forced signature: Olav007)


 * Hi Olav
 * The screenplay does allow other computers to browse to it and play the video straight from the screenplay as well as being able to play by itself, but I wouldn't recommend it. Each connection would likely slow it down until it was no longer smooth. There isn't any way that I know of to have synchronized playing through the screenplay. A file server could provide the file to the other computers AND the screenplay at the same time, although they still wouldn't be synchronized without manually starting all of them at the same time. An active HDMI splitter (or composite) could be used to send a signal to multiple places, but I'm not sure that's the kind of solution you're looking for. Maybe someone else on the forum has some suggestions? --JCoug 23:35, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

No, but perhaps it is the best if I could feed it into a laptop (and broadcast from there) - or analog video, I think it goes out at the same time.

Priorities are
 * 1) Quick setup when I want to do this


 * 1) Not having to waste a laptop next to the Screenplay TV - some meters of cable could be OK (but less good than the Wireless network)


 * 1) Convenience of using the Screenplay remote control.


 * 1) Possibly bandwidth.

Having the Screenplay TV on a latop would be a bit the similar to using the vide signals, but I couldn't use my remote. Don't know how it compares cabiling-technically.

(I was primarily thinking of Linux solutions on top of IOMtools)
