    Kaleidescape CD identification and metadata support

    ...and I'll just mention that upgrading the M300 power supply to an Sbooster brought a significant sonic improvement. And connecting M300 to the Esoteric D1X DAC with a Shunyata coax digital cable made it even better. These two tweaks have taken M300 into the audiophile orbit of Esoteric...

    Movies on Sale...

    And if I might make another point. Many of those movies are cheaper than what Kaleidescape charges me per disc to process video bookmarks on my unrecognized content. Plus I have to pay to ship my content 10,000 miles to K to process my discs. If K won't sell me movies from the K-store they...

    Movies on Sale...

    Can I just make this point. Kaleidescape sent me an email this morning to let me know the K-store has a movie sale. But when I check in with the K-store I'm told they can't sell me anything. Pointless exercise in sending me the email, right?

    Kaleidescape CD identification and metadata support

    Kaleidescape boffins monitor this forum, so they are probably aware of the suggestion. But they are on record as saying the Premiere system music guide is now legacy. Short of sending any unrecognized CD's to them and paying $10 per disc for the service you're just going to have to use the...

    Kaleidescape CD identification and metadata support

    I imported ten CD's a few days ago and they were all recognized by the music guide except for one. Not a bad hit rate. And the one that was not recognized was easy to add via my-kaleidescape. I get better recognition of music content than I do with movie content. If Kaleidescape were to devote...

    The tension on the retaining tab of the hard drive can be adjusted to fine tune the mating in the server bay.

    Problem playing back DVD / Blu-ray content from Premiere system

    I suspect you lucked out and it's OOW drives which are failing, otherwise he would have asked for your shipping details and ordered replacements. I don't know if they do that with customers directly or via the dealer on record.

    Support will tell you what slot the weak discs are loaded in.

    Problem playing back DVD / Blu-ray content from Premiere system

    It doesn't. A failing/weak hard drive with R/W errors will cause playback issues before it fails and the system flags it with a dealer warning and amber light.

    Problem playing back DVD / Blu-ray content from Premiere system

    Replication, as in, server to server to copy over all of the data. You can't play content on the source server whilst in replication mode, but you can play content on the destination server whilst replication is in progress. Although I only have direct experience with 1U's. 3U's might be...
