NOT a big deal as the up side is that you can also stream video and also mirror your IOS device screen i.e play satellite TV e.g Skygo or Skype to your TV screen and also view all your photo albums. The difference is that with Sonos you can control each room from the same controller, with this system you need one IOS devices for every room you want to play different media in. This solution is costing no-more than a Sonos Home system, which only lets you stream audio to different rooms. There is no need for commercial solutions which cost a fortune (NOT that this is working out is all relative). We also offer a dedicated hardware solution called AirServer Connect. I have both mac homeshare server and my main Dell server is running the Air Video Server with Air Video clients on my Ipads and Iphones. AirServer is the universal screen mirroring solution with support for AirPlay, Miracast, and Google Cast for macOS, PC, Xbox One, and Surface Hub. 5 machines is more than adequate (or simply consolidate it on a single server using Air Video and Handbrake (make sure the copyright laws in your country allow you to do so :-) ). Usually you have to reboot your router in order to save the. Put the TCP and UDP ports for Air Video HD in the corresponding boxes in your router.

First, need install airvideo-server in Ubuntu. Locate your routers port forwarding section. You dont need to copy your videos to the device just to watch them.

Homeshare applies to mac devices and is only an Apple method of serving out the media you have stored on Itunes on different machines. The step-by-step process for forwarding a port is: Start by logging in to your router.

The homeshare 5 machine limit is a non-issue as the Airplay receivers are IOS devices. Use the wireless for your IOS devices.Ī point to note is that even though you may be running a 1GB network, the Apple TVs and your Airplay amplifiers are 10/100. Make sure your Apple TV's are directly linked to your switch using CAT6 so that they do not take up wireless Bandwidth.

So far I have had no issues with the receiver limit (6 zones set up so far). In answer to your points here is what I have found when installing my system:ġ4 zone system (14 apple TVs 14 Airplay receiver amps Quad-core 8 GB RAM Dell PowerEdge Rack mount server (4 TeraBytes) 1 Mac server with homeshare 1GB 24 port switch 1GB 4 port router 2 x 1GB wireless access points).
