Can RetroPie stream to multiple Raspberry Pi's?
-
**My apologies if Help and Support is the incorrect category to post this. I was torn between this and Ideas and Development.
Here's what I want to do, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I'd like to connect my Rpi4 to my home network and stream Retropie to another Rpi on my local network. The 2nd (3rd, 4th, etc) Rpi would act like a steamlink so I can play on any TV in the house.
I've seen posts about streaming a PC to a Rpi/steamlink, but I've yet to see anything in regards to streaming Pi to Pi.
I like the idea of the Pi4 connected to my network opposed to my PC because I've always had problems with remotely sleeping/waking my PC remotely (which I'd really want to do), and if I encounter the same issue with the Pi4 it's more tolerable for me personally. I also like having another Pi acting like a steamlink because I have one available already and it has more usb ports.
My ideal setup would be the most powerful Pi connected via ethernet sitting next to my router upstairs, one Rpi acting like a steamlink connected to my arcade cabinet/X-Arcade Tankstick, another Rpi acting like a steamlink connected to my living room TV with bluetooth controllers connected.
Is this kind of a setup possible? Thanks!!

I'm not sure that it's possible but you could get a similar effect with a network share there are also plenty of instructions out there to turn a Pi into a NAS so you can have always on functionality with minimal power consumption.

@simpleethat I didn't think I could, but I just had to ask. Thanks for the reply! :)
