    Imported discs not showing up on the import tab

    Here's an odd thing I noticed this week: I put a few new-to-me DVDs into my vault yesterday, and although they show up in the "new" collection, there's no history of them in http://my-kaleidescape.local./import. The last discs I imported a fortnight ago are there. Haven't noticed this...

    Anyone upgraded memory in a 3U? or have pics of disassembly?

    I was reading this thread: http://www.kscapeowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3306 and wondered if anyone had tried the same thing (adding memory) to a 3U server, and did you see any change in performance? or, have you opened one up and taken photos? I hope to keep mine running for a good...

    is there any horizontal adjustment of the carousel's position in a DV700?

    I have a DV700 that I bought second-hand about a year ago. It's great, and works fine, except that maybe about 10% of the time a disc was ejecting, it would catch on the inside of the front trim panel. Loosening the trim panel would allow the disc to come out. Discs seem to eject cleanly 100%...

    Intelligent 'status' sort order in /vaults

    If I sort the titles in a vault by 'status', they're displayed alphabetically by status, which isn't very useful. (awaiting is at the top, importing is at the bottom, and all the other content of the vault is in the middle.) Change the sort order so either 'importing' or 'awaiting import' are...

    Is this weirdness in the store? or am I doing something wrong...

    I have my default filter for digital offers set to show me "disc to digital: all" and "ultraviolet". I noticed that one title ("Under Siege") is available in the store, and I have it on DVD, but it doesn't show up in this filtered list. If I remove the "disc to digital" filter, it does show up...

    KPLAYER-5000 not ejecting disc when previously imported

    I have two KPLAYER-6000s. They're both set to "eject disc" "When Importing or Cataloging Finishes". They both eject discs once they've imported. One of them, however, does not eject discs recognized as "content previously imported". The other one does, which I think is normal behavior. Is there...

    Anyone near RDU who has an M- or DV-700 they would loan or rent me for several days?

    I don't have a Blu-Ray player in my Kaleidescape system. I had planned to buy one next spring, import a bunch of discs, and use the disc-to-download option on the store. I'm wondering now if I should try to accelerate this process while I can, but a vault really isn't in the budget at the...

    KREADER spontaneously powering off

    Has anyone had trouble with a KREADER (seemingly) spontaneously powering itself off? I have four of them (I know, they're old, but most of my content is on DVD, so having several of them makes importing a multi-season DVD set of a TV show fairly quick & easy), and several times lately I've found...

    Any news on self-tagging discs?

    By 'self-tagging', I mean marking the beginning of a movie/show, etc. The stuff that Kaleidescape used to do for free and now charges for. Maybe there's a better or official name for this process... I imported the complete series of "Law & Order" and although the Kaleidescape system recognized...

    Anyone know if 'Southland' in the K store is the broadcast version?

    Or the 'uncensored' (as on DVD) edit?

    "Mega TiVo"

    http://investor.tivo.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=106292&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1964575 Not exactly an alternative to Kaleidescape, but I think there could be some overlap. It would certainly seem to complement a Kaleidescape system. I like that there's built in transcoding and streaming server.

    Anyone else seeing really long boot times?

    I have a server that seems to take a long time to actually be available on the network (serving its home web page). It seems to take an hour or so before I can get to the UI. This one is new (refurbished), and I've only actually booted it twice so far (once a week ago to replicate content to...

    1U server with 4x 1TB disks $3,000 in NC I've had this server for a year and am upgrading. I've not had any issues with it. It's not in warranty. Will ship from central NC in a Kaleidescape box & packing material. If you're looking for a starter DVD system, I'd include a KPLAYER-5000 for...

    Best way to delete content from a server before selling?

    I've never seen a 'restore to factory defaults' option in the Kaleidescape UI. I'm thinking to delete my content I just need to move it to the trash, empty the trash, clear the import history, and unregister the system from my account. Anything else? Or any simpler way to accomplish this? Thanks

    KREADER worth fixing?

    I've bought two used KREADER-2000s off eBay. I have a few region 2 DVDs i want to import, they were cheap and I thought I could dedicate one to the purpose. Neither of them has worked. They boot and connect to the server, but won't import discs. I tried swapping a new drive into one of them...

    Possible to either disable IR receiver on a player, or associate a remote with a player?

    I have three players in one place, and would like to use the regular Kscape IR remote to control one of them, but without the others responding to the IR commands. Is it possible to either: - associate the remote to a particular player, or - disable the IR port on a player (I know, I can put...

    Newbie with questions

    I like the Kscape system, but would not choose to purchase one at retail price. I am thinking, however, of buying used pieces (i.e. off eBay) to assemble my own. We have ~200 DVDs and ~80 Blu-ray discs. I'd like to be able to at least double that without swapping hardware, so I think I want...
