Hey guys,
I recently purchased a wifi audio receiver which I can stream music to using DTS Play-fi Audio system. The audio receiver becomes a client of my existing wifi network and is hooked up to my existing A/V Receiver. I use my HTPC as pretty much my only other component.
I want to automate the switching of the input of my receiver to the input for the wifi audio receiver if possible. The A/V receiver typically just sits on the input for my HTPC and doesn't move past that. I searched around on the Eventhghost forums without success. In theory, I would assume there would be some type of network monitor that could monitor if traffic went to the IP of the wifi audio device (i.e 192.168.1.200) which would create an event in Eventghost which I could then use to trigger an IR signal to change the input. When traffic ceased, the trigger could switch it back to my HTPC. I looked at the Broadcaster plugin and the Network Data Rate Monitor and those did not fit my needs.
Does anyone else have any idea (perhaps not using EG) to accomplish this? BTW my receiver is not network compatible. Any help would be appreciated.
PS I also considered just running the wifi receiver into my line in on my HTPC but I've never done that and I don't know if it works with a HDMI out. I also don't think that would be ideal because my HTPC occasionally goes to sleep. Thx.
