The developer working on integrating network display functionality into GNOME Shell shared short video clip to the GNOME sub-reddit […] the feature adds a “screencast” button to the row of actions in the Quick Settings menu. Clicking this opens a modal picker where the user can select any Miracast or Chromecast compatible displays on the network.
Yeah, I’ve been trying to work out a multi room audio system and its been…
Well, tough.
Have you tried snapcast. I’ve been quite successful with it.
No I haven’t. Do you have experience with it? What is your opinion?
I think its really great. Im using the server component together with spotifyd and then have the clients running on a few different devices. The sync is really good and you can adjust the delay of each device in the web interface. I mostly needed that because of a bluetooth speaker and a sound receiver which delays always by 250ms no matter the input. But now i have music blasting from every room and you can ealk from room to room and dont hear any delay. You can even have different soundsystems in the same room and it is not even noticable that there are different devices playing. I totally recommend it for a music multiroom setup. On my main pc i’ve even added it as an audio output device with pipewire :)
Wow that sounds impressive. I’m excited to try. have you watched movies on it? is the delay too much for movies?
alt here since world down: sadly this doesn’t work with movies. snapcast always adds delay to sync up all clients. so your video and audio are out of sync. I think i remember that somewhere people discussed that snapcast could report the delay to the pipewire to have the video player sync it back up again. but that isn’t implemented “yet” tm
Snapcast?
