I have two GoFlex Homes(totally hacked, and in pieces), a GoFlex Central (rooted, holds all of the house media), a handfull of Raspberry Pis...
Has anyone heard of (or tried) to set up plex with transcoding such that it uses Raspis, and GoFlexs and such.. to transcode media?
is there a SMP kernel or kernel extension that can be added to the armel GoFlexs to feed the Pi?
I've seen the "superComputer" Raspi - where they link a gazillion Pi boards together to build a cosmic computer....
Time isn't the issue - capability is....
I could grab a battery UPS, have the 5-10 itty bitty devices running 24/7 as a home theater / media transcoding beastie...
a Raspi w/ XBMC or PLEX as the front end, the Seagate Central as the Storehouse... then everything else as CPUs for grinding/transcoding media... and it would be quiet, and take very little power....
I played with Dauger Research's "Pooch" (waaaaaay back when) ( http://daugerresearch.com/index.shtml )
maybe there is something kinda like that for armel processing, or something built into wheezy/debian that could handle that functionality...
then getting PLEX to be aware of multiple CPUs sitting on the network waiting for processes to be tossed their way....
is such a thing possible?
