Hi,
I'm curious if anyone here has cobbled together a box that:
- plugs into ethernet
- plugs into stereo
- plays music on stereo from iTunes library on home subnet
- has gui that you can read from 15 feet away, allows you to
navigate the iTunes library, and that you can control with an
infrared remote (an old TV remote?)
I've got an old Toshiba laptop with a IDE-to-CF drive, an IR port, enough
CPU and RAM, and a sound card that I hope is good enough.
How hard would this be to pull together on OpenBSD? Has anybody
done something similar?
Thanks,
m
P.S. Even more fun: uvideo + motion detection software, and control the volume
by swinging your arms. ;) Kids would love it until the speakers blew out.
