Hi all,
I have the hardware, now trying to figure out the software. I currently have a Russound CAM 6.6 system that I need to hook up without keypads. I have S2 and the house has single gang boxes. And I'd just as soon use the boxes for Intercom anyway.
What I have:
1. Vista Media Center with Music Library set up and working as it shoudl, including through extenders.
2. Russound with speakers hooked up ready to be controlled by HomeSeer either via Plug-in or script I write ... the price on the PI gives me some hearburn.
What I would like to do:
1. Install HomeSeer and JRMC on the VMC box
2. Add 3 or 4 more sound cards for JRMC.
3. Have JRMC and VMC (ie. Windows Media Player) point to the same folder for the music library. This way music via HomeSeer / Russound works as well as Music via VMC.
Questions:
1. Will having the shared library like that cause issues for one or the other?
2. I'm assuming I can assign certain soundcards to JRMC leaving the other for VMC.
I do have another PC that I could use for HomeSeer/JRMC if necessary but I'd rather do it on one.
Any other gotchas?
