I added a screenshot of the output to the attachments

Thanks. Well that looks positive. It successfully started VLC. Ok, so let figure out why you are getting VLC not found to your earlier message.

This looks good. there is nothing wrong with the scripts. Ok, now lets move back one step.

Goto a regular cmd prompt and issue (copy/paste) the following command:

powershell "& 'C:\Users\xbmc\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.multiroomaudio\strtstrmr.ps1'"

and see if there are any errors.

Have you considered extending you addon to transcode audio/video as well? using VLC should be fairly easy. It would be great for remote playback, like on smart phone or laptops.
(My knowhow as a programmer is higly limited, but beeing searching on how to do it Smile)

The hooks are already there but they are not enabled if you look in the Addon Settings Audio / Video sections of the addon. Big Grin

So it is planned.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR Win7 x64 USERS:
You will have two PowerShell applications in
All Programs/Accessories/Windows Powershell:

Windows PowerShell and Windows PowerShell (x86)

(simply typing powershell in the Start Windows search text box wont show you this)

Ensure to implement the recommended setting for PowerShell (x86) as well.

since ur broadcasting the file played, would it be possible to get-> udp://xbmc:1234/nowplaying.m3u

that way i could listen to the audio only via my iphone Big Grin

I will see how feasible this would be to implement in a possible future release as an option in the addon settings. Big Grin

any plans to make this able to stream different audio to each zone?

hi, I'm trying to use this fantastic plugin,I've followed all the instructionsma but I don't see/listen anything (client and server)...the client is only the title of the song.

It is also not close regularly xbmc .... I need to use the task manager to do it.
I tried with 2 xp pc and 2 pc w7, in both cases the same problem
How cal i do?Sad

Thanks!

P.S. Sorry for my english

No problem... initial things to check is to make sure that you have powershell configured properly as well as vlc 1.1.4 installed. Make sure that you have generated your files after setting up and restart XBMC.

XBMC "WILL" be slow closing as it shuts down the broadcast services in a controlled manner.

Also, on your Global Master, when you start the addon, also open up task manager to make sure that you can see 2 (two) vlc instances.

Let me know if this helps or that you are still having issues.

Listening w/ iphone - teshephe - 2010-10-11

For those of you looking at listening in via your iphone and (smartphones).

iPhone - Go to the app store and download the free app called Streamer by ZodTTD.

Regular Droids and such shouldn't have a problem with decoding and listening into the streamer natively.

Good news is that VLC is presently being ported to iphone and is already available for the iPad by Applidium and they promise to have the iphone version soon...

XBMC Live install - basjes - 2010-10-12

Do the instructions work for an xbmc live install?
I have installed xbmc to my harddrive and have been trying your awesome addon. Unfortunately i'm not able to get it to work.

Currently XBMC Live is not supported but will be soon as I am currently doing testing.

I will keep everyone posted.

Have you confirmed that the stream is actually running from the master?

Great bit of advice, fixed my issue (after tearing my hair out for hours), might be an idea to add this to the PDF.
