Hi,
So first of all, thanks for a totally awesome media center solution in XBMC!
I have been thinking about a feature, which i think would be very cool while watching a movie in XBMC.
The idea came to me, when my wife and I was watching Planes the other day. My wife wanted to use the danish audiotrack, and i prefer the original english audiotrack.
To then it pops into my head, what if it was possible to stream individual audiotracks to you handheld device(iPhone, Android) with XBMC remote installed and then plug-in your earpods. Each viewer would be able to get the audiotrack they prefer, and can watch the move at the same time.
I know that i can't be full surround sound when using ear-pods, so it has to be some stereo downmix of the AC3 or DTS streams.
Actually, my LGtv has a similar solution when it comes to 3d movies. It has regular passive 3d glasses and dual-play glasses. If you wear the 3d glasses you get the 3d effect, but if you wear the dual-play glasses, you get regular 2d movie.
See it as real-time multiple viewer customization.
Please share your thoughts on this.
