Hi Adrian, I've been playing about with various media centre products for more years now than I care to mention - many of which have bit the dust and stopped...
I've found Plex to be pretty much like the Mac in general. Most of my friends and family that rolled their eyes a few years back are now using Macs (and...
For me, Mac is/was the problem. I too bought a Mac mini for Plex but I just could not get on with it (the Mac, not Plex) so it went to someone who will love it...

UKHA_D Guidelines Version 1.3 February 2010 The UK Home Automation Discussion (UKHA_D) Mailing list was formed in September 1998. These are some guidelines...
I am another who tried Plex but gave up because I thought it was a tad confusing (I'm not sure why now looking back). I recently tried it again and must say I...
Hi again, I am not sure if I have done anything wrong here as no one seems to have replied.... Can someone just reply to let me know if I have posted...
Hi Brian, My Guess is that 1) This list is mainly for Home Automation, but we do OT quite a bit ;-) 2) Not a lot of people don't know what a "W23" network is....
Yes thanks Nigel, I have been a member of this group for almost 11 years now, but due to moving once or twice in the past few years I have not been running any...
Sorry Brian recognise the name now...you are using a new email address :) On a related note I am surprised that people a migrating towards mac servers as Apple...
Thanks again Nigel, yes it has been a long while, no idea where it all went! When I originally started at this company "we" had a Windows 2003 Server which had...

Hi Phil, ... Comes from being at the bleeding edge :) ... As a few of you may recall, I'm a LinuxMCE addict. And while it is still cumbersome to setup, and...
Hi all, So as plex rumbles on, apple tv sits in the corner slightly unloved and i head towards needing more SWMBO friendly options for movies etc around the...
I suspect you will get a number of answers here. I believe there are two formats that are worth considering - .mkv seems to be the most popular. It can hold...
Hi all, I spotted this today. http://andahammer.com/mini210w5/ Some people have commented that the older 600Mhz boards where a little slow for Android etc so...
This really is quite a timely topic, as I'm taking delivery of my shiny new QNAP 15TB NAS tomorrow... :-) (TS-559 Pro II if you're interested, with 5 x 3TB...
So, further to this.... - has anyone here personal experience of getting XBMC running on an ATV2?.... How much of a PITA is the process really? - how does it...
ATV2 with xbmc is something I was considering but as the hardware is 720p max I've ruled that one out I'm using an acer revo, windows 7, xbmc and a wireless...
What about ATV2 with Plex?.... - I guess that's another choice worth looking at... Is it possible to install both XBMC *and* Plex concurrently I wonder? ...
One problem with the Acer Revo is that the HDMI output is 2 channel only (due to a hardware restiction i believe) and with Win7 you can only output audio to...
Acer Revo 3700 XBMC Live. DVDs and BDs ripped to MKV. Perfect. Am looking at Plex on Windows though as the Revo is already dual boot. Plex seems to have been...
See... this is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about, illustrating perfectly why a Wintel PC is a crap choice for the head-end device... I don't want to...

I played around with both plex and boxee for quite a while, but in the end SWMBO just couldn't cope with it. It was just a bit too clever. Often it it would...
By re-encoding, were you able to preserve the AC3 soundtrack? Does the video quality suffer at all? On my DVD rips to VIDEO_TS, I have *already* (in 99% of...
BBC iPlayer is available on ATV2 via XBMC. You can install XBMC on the ATV2 and still maintain the Apple frontend and functionality. Works well for me anyway! ...
Funny you should mention this - I am also looking at a similar solution. I download a lot of TV shows from from UK or US. Got about 1.2 Tb. The format is...
Hi, I bought a Drobo FS whilst drunk and it rocks - I am however a bit too dense to get the droboapps working - I get an error Warning:...

... As John said, the AppleTV 2 preset in Handbrake automatically puts 2 audio tracks - stereo and AC3. That's good for me because I'm still 2 channel only in...
Probably stating the obvious.... The URL specified returns a 404 - it doesn't exist - perhaps a simple re-install of latest software will fix it? If not, will...
