My dad wants me to build him a HTPC and rip all his blu-rays and dvd's to MKV format. That's easy to do. No issues there. However, He wants the PC located in a utility room and have it be capable of streaming his movie collection to any tv in his house, using his laptop or iPad to access the HTPC. Every tv in his house has Apple TV. I know XBMC can connect to Apple TV if you jail break the device. I've also considered using wireless HDMI devices instead of Apple Tv. There is Cat 5e cable to every TV and his whole house has wireless coverage as well.
Last question. Is XBMC capable out streaming different movies to different locations at the same time? Example, kids want to watch Shrek downstairs and adults want to watch Terminator upstairs at the same time.
Here's a quick pic of what I'm trying to do. Now, What's the best way to do it?
