Idea: Dumb Receiver
#1
Hi! I'm currently tackling a slightly tough issue here, where my RPi has to be placed on the ground floor to be in Bluetooth range of transmitting phones and my amp that controls the ceiling speakers is tucked away in the basement ~50 feet and 2 walls away. I don't have another RPi but I do have a generic Linux PC just lying around with a good onboard sound card that I was hoping to use with Moode.

Is there a way to install Moode in docker, or else, configure trx-rx such that Moode thinks that its a receiver and use Moode's multiroom features to transmit audio to my Linux box over ethernet?

I was reading the examples on this page: https://www.pogo.org.uk/~mark/trx/ and it seems doable, but I'm unsure what all conditions do I have to meet to pretend to be a Moode receiver so the setup works flawlessly.

My intention is to write a self contained bash script or dockerfile that can then be used by others as well if they so choose.

Couple things

- moode will only run on raspberry pi hardware
- the send/receive software used is a modified version of trx

The receiver function consists of:
- trx-rx binary
- util/trx-control.php (control interface)
- inc/multiroom.php (function lib)
- cfg_multiroom sql table (settings)

Your best bet is to get a Raspberry Pi.

Thanks, I see I'd need another pi then.
