    K at CEDIA 2016?

    Yeah, FusionRD was news to me, but when I looked at it I can't see how they're doing what they claim to do legally at all. It's actually kind of funny that they show a 3U K server on their web pages (logo removed) with a circle around it and a line through it. As for Plex, just to be clear...

    K at CEDIA 2016?

    As near as I can tell, it's like this: You want bit-for-bit movies you have two options...K and Plex. With K you pay a good bit of money and it's VERY VERY nice and easy after that. With Plex, you pay a lot less and it's very hard to do and STILL has questionable legality. So for most...

    Plex?

    Got my Shield, have yet to try it, though. Next week sometime as I'm heading out of town. But that brings up another thing...downloading to an iOS device with Plex. Sure, Plex is a lot more difficult to get content on outside of bootlegging (which is braindead easy), but once you have content...

    FOR SALE: 2 *bad* 750GB K disks

    Two bad 750GB disks for a 1U or 3U server. Don't think these have any value, but if someone is hacking around and needs extra carriers... Make me an offer. --Donnie

    FOR SALE: Kaleidescape TERRA SERVER 24TB. Only Six months Old !!!

    I was simply talking about if it closes for good and nobody picks it up. All it takes is a failed hard drive or two with no replacement and the servers are hosed. You're probably right. Something will likely happen. --Donnie

    Plex?

    FWIW, my home Plex server is an 8 bay iXsystems FreeNAS Mini XL, which has an 8 core 2.4Ghz processor and 4x4TB drives (was the best price/TB with full RAID protection and all I need for a while, but four more slots will let me expand pretty significantly still if/when I need to). My home...

    FOR SALE: Kaleidescape TERRA SERVER 24TB. Only Six months Old !!!

    K isn't closed. It's in limbo, but it isn't closed. If it closes for good, there won't be any. If it stays open, there will be support. Will it be as good as before? Hard to say, but my bet is it is at least close if not as good. It seems very likely it will remain open. The gamble is...

    Plex?

    Haywood, I'd also love to know your thoughts on sharing content. I used a fairly potent NAS box for my Plex server at home so I'd have good RAID and enough CPU to transcode if I wanted to, but was going to get it up and running well before deciding how to handle my vacation house. I figured...

    Haywood, can you post a link to the forced subs spreadsheet? --Donnie

    FOR SALE: 3U complete system

    This entire system is now sold. --Donnie

    Plex?

    Kaleidescape is better. In every way. It also costs 10-20x more and unless you buy a grandfathered system can't rip, either. And it's currently in a limbo state it may (but hopefully will) never come out of. So we're talking about Plex and the possibilities. As has been pointed out...
