Hi,
I have two rooms with separate amp / TVs (family room and cinema room).
I have all my blue rays ripped to a Synology NAS.
I want to stream the movies to both TV's independantly (I dont want to for example start to watch movies on one screen then finish on the other).
My NAS is 80% full, and I am not sue which of the following approaches to take, main issue is not so much cost but quality of playback ie 1080p with DTS-HD and 3D blue ray rips. I do have concerns after seeing the threads on the 24p issue.
1) replace the NAS with my rack server which would always be on and would run XBMC via LAN to amps .... dont even know if this is possible
2) build one custom PC with dual HDMI running XBMC .... again dont know if its possible to configure this to work
3) build two custom HTPC's and configure both for NAS network share, just buy another NAS when current is full. Connect an HTPC directly to each AMP via HDMI.
Any recommendations gratefully received
