    Replicating to a Cinema One

    Hi, I just got a Cinema One and was going to start replication from my 3U server, but when I go to begin the process, it says that I cannot, because the two are on a different software version. I know that software upgrades are usually done automatically, but is there something I can do to...

    Remotescape Network Problem?

    Hi, I don't really know how to title this thread, because I don't understand what could be happening.... For quite some time, I've had a problem with my system starting to 'skip' while playing a movie. It gets a jitter and the audio sort of skips around. It's hard to explain, but I've posted...

    Having to Reboot My 3U Server

    Hi, I have had a problem recently, where while watching a movie it begins to 'skip.' It's hard for me to choose the right word to describe it, but it sort of hesitates, plays, stutters, freezes for just a fraction of a second, plays...etc. I know that is not a very good description, and my...

    LG DVD Ripping

    Hi, Has anyone seen this BR player from LG? http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10449166-1.html I haven't researched it completely, but it claims to be able to rip DVDs to its 250 gig hard drive. Just curious. Thanks, Steven

    Watch Soon Collection - Timeout?

    Hi, When a movie is put into the 'watch soon' collection, will it eventually be removed or time-out? There are a few that I really thought I had added there, but they have that indicator removed now. It's not all of them, just the older ones. I haven't found a setting anywhere. Thanks, Steven

    Kscape Distribution of Satellite in Home

    Hi, I've been curious about in-home distribution of my satellite, DVD, and other video signals. Wouldn't a Kaleidescape server connected via Ethernet be a perfect way to do whole home video distribution? I know that there are home automation systems, but the server/multiple player setup of...

    Multiple, Simultaneous Streams

    Hi, I haven't been able to figure it out, but can two players be set up to play the same movie/show/concert at the same time? I have players in several rooms that are connected via Ethernet, but they are not part of a distributed system. I want to play the same thing in multiple rooms...

    How Do You Report Import Issues to Kscape?

    Hi, I've seen some specific import issues directly addressed on this board, which has been very helpful. However, my searches haven't found the general instructions for reporting various issues to Kaleidescape (and I certainly could have missed something). I've had several issues: 1. Disk...

    Movie Trailers

    Hey All, I'm not sure where to post this, so I'll put it here and see where the moderators think it should go... My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary (with sitters in place!) and decided to try to watch a few movies. While browsing, we found the option of being able to watch...

    What is the 'Extended Warranty?'

    All, I have looked at a lot of used equipment on this board that indicates that it is 'qualified for an extended warranty.' Could someone elaborate on what the warranty policies of Kscape are? I'd hate to buy something, just to find that it wasn't really qualified for an extended warranty...

    Licensing-VHS

    Hi, Just curious, as I know that this is a never-ending, theoretical until litigated topic...if a Kscape owner has a VHS tape of a movie, would it be 'legal' to have a copy of that movie on a Kscape system? Just curious... I won't touch the 8-track version of this question :-> Thanks, Steven

    Linkin Park Import Error

    Hi, I just imported my Linkin Park 'Live in Texas' DVD. It was a DVD that came with the music CD. When I imported it, it was looked up as the Linkin Park/Jay Z 'Collision Course' DVD. How do I report something like this? I also have the latter, and I don't want to try to import it at this...

    Ethernet Over Power - Player Quality

    Hi, I have a room in my house that is not going to be able to have a category 5 cable run to it from the K server. I have used some Ethernet over power boxes in my house for various network applications where a wire won't work (video cameras, Slingbox, etc.). Has anyone used anything like...

    Loading DVDs - Quality

    Hi, I have a K Mini Player, which, as most probably know, has a 1080p player built into it. If I were to buy a k5000 player, which I understand plays at 1080i at the most, could I still import DVDs and play them at 1080p with the Mini? In other words, if I import the disk, the box through...

    Poorly Authored DVDs - How do you know the status?

    Hi, I just tried to import Seven Pounds, and it ran for a few hours, then indicated that it wouldn't import. So I looked on Kaleidescape's web page and see that it is listed under the poorly authored DVD section. If it is there, does it mean that Kaleidescape is working on it? I'm wondering...

    Digital Copy Movie Licensing

    Hi All, This question may have been answered before, but I cannot find it... I've bought several Blu-Ray disks that come with a digital copy. Some are downloads, but some are on a separate DVD, for example, The Dark Knight. Since they give you (sell you) a BR and DVD, is the latter legal to...

    Privacy Issues

    Hey All, I really don't want to ask this the wrong way or come off as inappropriate, but I was wondering, what does everyone that has a K system think about having that perpetual connection to Kaleidescape via the Internet? I saw a previous thread, which wasn't so lovely, where the CEO of...

    Power Protection and Backup

    Hi All, I was wondering, what does one useto protect the K system from power surges? If I understand correctly, most people keep the systems up 24/7, so I wonder what is used for line conditioning? Panamax? Monster? Other? Does anyone use a UPS of some sort? In our town in Arkansas, we...
