Full Version: What is the best setup for XBMC whole house audio
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Anyone successfully setup a good whole house audio system with XBMC? My situation is:
- 6 to 12 music zones
- initially i want to do a simple "broadcast" of music
- i have my music on a central server (i could setup xbmc on that central server as well)
- central server has HDMI out to connect to a receiver

Ideally I want to control the receiver with my iphone (similar to xbmc control over iPhone)

Is there a 6 to 12 zone receiver that I can connect to the central server and connect speaker wires to broadcast audio?
If there is a receiver with lesser number of zones, I can aggregate some zones but would prefer not to.

Has anybody used this with Sonos? I am really a noob here so any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I know this post is a couple months old, but I really wish xbmc had multi zone support. Currently I run Jriver for audio to the garage and the pool, and xbmc boxes in the living room and all bedrooms. If xbmc had this functionality built in I wouldn't need to use Jriver anymore.
