    Plex?

    I used to manage my own movie server back in the day before moving across to K - combination of MakeMKV and Dune players. Eventually the pain & sheer time involved took its toll - & I moved over to K. Small Premiere system which I've expanded over time - a joy of simplicity in comparison; I...

    DVD CCA appeal "settled"?

    I've just read John's blog post. Interesting. Not sure I fully get it though in terms of what elements of the system need to be pre-Nov'14 to allow DVD import. Is it the player, the server or both? I'm a UK based owner with 2x 1U servers, an M700 & M300. What if I decided at some point next...

    Phantom Movie Title Entry - DB Issue?

    My system is up to date - called back to K services earlier today. The behaviour with these 3 movies, which I'm sure have been appropriately bookmarked, is just.. odd. I strongly suspect that for all 3 the issue is with the special features disc - all of them have a separate special features...

    Phantom Movie Title Entry - DB Issue?

    I sent off my copy of Pinocchio for bookmarking a few weeks ago (UK R2 disc). Interestingly it got fully processed and bookmarked - along with a bunch of others - but is still sitting on my 'Movies Missing Video Bookmarks' list. I queried the guys who did the bookmarking (was subcontracted to a...

    Blu-ray quality downloads and UltraViolet

    UV only DVD upgrade Just adding to a couple of comments I saw earlier in the thread... I for one would be keen on having the option to add UV rights to a DVD version of a movie I have in my library without having to upgrade to a BluRay copy. Presumably this could be priced below the $6.99 that...

    K Loan Program - Shipping

    I've had my K system for a couple of months now & have finally got through importing my existing collection - plus new Xmas purchases. Roughly 5% of my movies are on the "Movies Missing Video Bookmarks" list (some weren't recognised at all, but using the UPC/EAN entry & the good work behind the...

    Support for Remote Power On / Off

    Out of interest, why do you not recommend powering down a Vault? I have a new M700 that I'm just finishing up using to bulk load my collection. Once this completes, I was thinking of putting it on overnight power down using a plug timer - auto switches off at eg 11:30pm and on at 8am - similar...

    Subtitle questions

    Jerry / Josh Thanks for the welcome & the advice. I'm still working through the importing of my collection so will hold off following up on this with the Movie Guide team until I have a more complete picture. As background, I'm coming to K from a self-maintained movie library - Dune players...

    Subtitle questions

    Hi all First post so pls be gentle... Having lurked on the forum for the last couple of years & had a K demo back in Jan'11, I've finally recognised the merits of the phrase 'quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten'. My 1U server with 3TB discs & M700 vault arrived last week...
