    Purchase a power supply for Kserver-5000

    I received the power supply from Sparkle, cost was $215 + tax and shipping. Same connectors, screw holes as original power supply. Only thing is the IEC power port doesn't match PERFECTLY with the trim plate. But that small trim plate is removable anyways so it allows clear access for the power...

    Wow... rough week. What's the future hold?

    If I were you dealers and owners I would urge Mr. Malcolm to pursue alternatives such as digital downloads from VUDU. The HDX downloads are Blu-ray quality picture but only have a 640kbps DD 5.1 track (better than DVD, but not lossless like on BR) Mitsubishi, LG, Vizio have now integrated the...

    Vudu

    The release window is annoying but not as much as 24hr downloads. It's happened to me a few times where I could not finish the movie in 24hrs. This same limitation applies to AppleTV and Amazon as well. What VUDU does that others do not is offer a discounted extended rental, so if you rent the...

    Vudu

    I have a VUDU box and worked at VUDU for about 6 months before a company wide work force reduction. Basically, it's freakin' awesome. 10,000+ movies instantly available. The HD is better then the HD on Satellite, the HDX is Blu-ray quality video with 640kbps DD 5.1 If you saw the video...

    Kaleidescape power usage

    I also use UPB but have not thought to put my Sub or KServer on an appliance module, I think I will give it a shot! KScape says its OK to cut the power to the server but they will also tell you that the more frequently you spin down and spin up the drives, the more likely you are to experience a...

    Netflix streaming

    I believe most of these services stream mpeg4 content which is not supported on any current KPlayers. Any such service would require new hardware. I've used the Netflix stuff at home, OK for TV shows, terrible for movies, what a lousy selection that is not likely to improve unless they move to...

    Using the Left Arrow to exit out of menus

    Stop is like super cancel, it closes all popups I believe. When using Kaleidescape's OSD touch panel interface, the stop button is not visible when browsing through the On Screen Display though, only during movie playback.

    Touchpanels with video touch overlays, exit popup menus

    If you use a large Crestron or AMX touch panel that has a live video window which you can touch to interact with the Kscape OSD, then this tip is for you. As you may know, with the OSD With Video templates from Kaleidescape and a video enabled touch panel you can touch elements of the...
