Hello everyone, Ok so I like to play music from my phone a lot and now want to stream the music to a pc to play with my surround sound. I have my first NAS hardware that I didn't use which I want to use for this, Atom n270 with 2gb ddr2. I have an android phone. so I just need if this can be done and what I will need. I was hopping to run linux on the pc but I don't want a display just want to turn it on and then stream to it without having to mess about with it. Thinking of running puppy or porteus as they will fit on my 4gb pata dom. do you know if this can be done?
Isn't a PC a bit overkill for this ? Anyway Android complicates things a bit, in case of iOS it would be easy - install an Airplay server on your PC (or Pi as much better option for this task) and then just redirect the output to the Airplay server. Not sure what options you have on Android, i never tried to do this on my Android phones. Maybe later, when there will be a Chromecast receiver software for linux (i am sure it is only a question of time). @Deders: PATA DOM = Paralell ATA Disk on module. Stuff like http://www.ravirajtech.com/diskonmodule.html
Well I have the atom board sitting about so that why i want to use that over a PI or something like that. I don't have any Iphone/itouch/ipad device so that's a bit hard for me. But I will look online and see if there is a android equivalent Yes that's what I meant What faugusztin said ^^^
Well, you could set up a DLNA receiver on your Atom computer and DLNA client on your phone, but not sure how UI friendly can that be. Edit: Seems like from a phone side you could use this (unfortunately Free version has some limitations) : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp Then all you need to do is to install a UPNP renderer on your Atom board. You could install XBMC for that, or any other solutions, but i really don't know what other options you got for this, so you need to research this yourself. Probably something like http://blog.scphillips.com/2013/01/a-upnp-renderer-for-the-raspberry-pi/ (read from the line "Enter gmrender…") ?
