    LATEST UPDATE ON K

    Crestron or C4 would be the perfect buyers.

    LATEST UPDATE ON K

    Jim, just an idea. I think the two big players in home automation, Control4 and Crestron, would really benefit from having a product like Kaleidescape in their range. I hope that this is something that Control4 and Crestron will look into.

    Plex?

    I am trying now with iso BD movies on a NAS and use nvidia shield as a media player with Kodi. It works ok but the user experience is frustrating and I am quite technical. This is not a solution for most people but one of the few ones that can do full BD iso, 3d audio and 4k streaming. Plex in...

    Plex?

    As the question above, what do you mean by 1:1 blu-ray rips? Last time I check Plex can not do ISO and BDMV.

    Plex?

    Can plex now stream at full quality BD iso and BD files?

    THX Introduction

    This is a good alternative and I will implement this also but I would prefer to find a way to insert a THX or dolby digital trailer just before a movie starts.

    DVD failed to Import (using Non-Factory DVD ROM Drive)

    Playback fails on movies imported with non-factory DVD-ROM drive I have just found out that there is another factor in the equation that I did not know about: It seems one of our engineers had previously replaced the DVD-ROM drive in the customer's KPLAYER used to import the discs, and the...

    DVD failed to Import (using Non-Factory DVD ROM Drive)

    James, sorry for the late answer, I just saw this. We will try to troubleshoot the system this week. I really hope the problem is Server A otherwise this will become even more difficult to solve.

    DVD failed to Import (using Non-Factory DVD ROM Drive)

    Thank you James. This K system's cost is over six figures USD in Europe and we would really like to have everything running as perfect as possible. And we also want the customer to enjoy this and not to have to deal with these issues. I also hope this thread will help dealers that have similar...

    DVD failed to Import (using Non-Factory DVD ROM Drive)

    Ok, we have some more updates. I just imported one of the problematic discs: Pricate Practice Season 2 Disc 1 on my 3U server. The import took more than an hour but I can now play this from the server. So this shows that this is not a media problem. The problem is being handled by Rusty from K...

    DVD failed to Import (using Non-Factory DVD ROM Drive)

    We cannot test HDMI - all the componets are centrally placed in a rack. The player is connected with component to a matrix switcher and from there cat5e is used to send the signal to the tv. Since all the other dvds play fine and the problematic dvds also play fine from the Kplayer's tray this...

    DVD failed to Import (using Non-Factory DVD ROM Drive)

    This is/was a good idea. We have ripped more than 2000+ DVDs with our speed reader. Maybe all of the discs that have problems were ripped using the customer's Kplayer 6000. This is what I thought also. But today I deleted Private Practice Season 2 and re-imported Disc 1 using our Kplayer 5000...

    DVD failed to Import (using Non-Factory DVD ROM Drive)

    I have posted this in the "Import Errors and Issue Forum" but this is now becoming a bigger and more serious problem. We have a problem in a customer's system with some discs. Playing any of the discs or episodes from the server after they have been copied somehow causes the player to crash...

    New DLink Router- PAIN- OH PAIN- then Inspiration

    Just to help and what we do in general in our projects with regards to networking: 1) For routers we use the Linksys/Cisco RVS4000 or RV042. We do not use routers with built-in wireless. 2) The Access Points we prefer are the Netgear WG102/WG103 and the Pakedge W3. If you need to increase...

    Brothers and Sisters Season 3 (R1)

    I am in contact with K's tech support. They told me to delete the discs and re-import them. We did so and the problem is still there. The customer called me today and informed me that Grey's Anatomy Season 5 and Private Practice Season 2 that have been imported the last 2 weeks, also exhibit...
