Users / LinuxMCE for Hostel

« on: June 02, 2010, 06:16:46 pm »

Hi Friends,

I am new to LinuxMCE and this is my first post. I have seen the video 704, and gone through the website and wiki pages before asking the question. If I am asking the obvious, my apologies in advance.

I am planning to implement LinuxMCE for a 50 room/user hostel. Below are my basic needs, similar to in-flight entertainment.

[1] Users can browse and play their own videos/music from their in-room media directors. The media will be stored centrally in the core server.

[2] Users can browse and view live TV channels distributed by the core.

I understand LinuxMCE is made for home, and probably for less number of users.

[1] Can LinuxMCE handle a 50 users load?

[2] If not, can multiple core servers handle different set of media directors, but manage same media collection in a NAS?

[3] Are there alternatives to LinuxMCE available for the above purpose?

Please advise.

Thanks
Bee
