    Can a UHD/HDR purchase be downloaded and viewed in HD on the Alto?

    That makes sense and is what I already know. Let me rephrase my question: I have more than 1000 purchased movies in the Kaledescape store. Is there a way to identify which movies are *only* available in UHD/HDR and thus cannot be downloaded and played back on the Alto?

    Can a UHD/HDR purchase be downloaded and viewed in HD on the Alto?

    Hello, I have a Strato/Terra system and recently got a need for another player in my other house with only a HD TV. Instead of splurging on a Strato, I am considering picking up an Alto, figuring it will do all I need since the TV set doesn't support 4K. However, if I do this, will I only be...

    Kscape store content size?

    Hello, Is there an easy way to determine how much space all the movies I have purchased in the Kscape store will need if downloaded at the full resolution (and only the highest resolution available, i.e. never double resolutions like UHD+HD of the same movie). Thanks, Peter

    WANTED: Recent stolen Strato S12, 2 6tb drives, Costar

    FWIW, the OP "stolen" unit turned out to be a wrong address delivery by FedEx to another Kaleidescape user. The "stolen" unit was found 10 months later (January 2021) as the customer tried to set up the unit...

    1U replacement power supply 'solution'

    No. You could of course drill new ones or fabricate an adapter plate but good quality double sided tape works wonders too, but give whoever needs to remove the supply in the future a tough time ;)

    1U replacement power supply 'solution'

    IMHO a cleaner solution would be to find a 12V 150W open rail power supply that can be mounted inside the case. The Cosel PBA150F-12-RN1 is 156W and probably small enough to fit in the case but this is just a guess so anyone attempting this needs to verify the dimensions to see if it will fit...

    WANTED: P/N Skynet SNP-CK69.

    It will work. The critical part is to get positive and negative correct on the connector. I'd remove the PCB and carefully look how the 6-pin header is connected. Pins 1-3 and 4-6 are most likely tied togeter, so if you get a power supply with 4 pin header, then you can wire it 1-1, 2-2, 3-5, 4-6

    WANTED: P/N Skynet SNP-CK69.

    BTW, it looks like you're missing the 6-pin cable too. Since you'll need to manufacture this, you might as well pick a power supply with the more common 4-pin header and manufacture a 4-to-6 cable. For example this 24V 2.5A power supply has the mounting holes perfectly aligned...

    WANTED: P/N Skynet SNP-CK69.

    Chris, Have you considered simply purchasing a similar "24 VDC@2.5 A Industrial Open Frame AC-DC Power Supply" from Mouser or Digikey? The specs here surely are not critical... A little googling: The data sheet for the SNP-CK69K is here...

    So disappointed...

    Just delete this post. I will forget about Kscape for now...

    So disappointed...

    Ok, so I wanted two drives for my 3U and another Strato 12T. My stupid dealer shipped them uninsured, and FedEx lost the package. Now he will refund me and he does not want to deal with me. How does that help me? Ok, I need a new dealer. Serious dealers, please get in touch!

    Workaround found! Non-catalogued Blu-Ray cannot be played due to region mismatch

    Yes, this is obviously how it works. However, since the region information was not known when your Media Guide Services team did this, it really makes no sense that the information they added removed the selector. Since they did not enter region info, the selector is needed and should still be...

    Workaround found! Non-catalogued Blu-Ray cannot be played due to region mismatch

    Hey Mike, looking at a different movie, I see the selector you're referring to. For some reason the region selector is present for some unknown region movies and not for others. It looks like the movie above (Stereo) is partly catalogued. There is a "Synopsis" and other info. However it does...

    Workaround found! Non-catalogued Blu-Ray cannot be played due to region mismatch

    The loophole is the "Play Movie" feature that lets us skip all the pesky checks and code in the intro/trailer section. I doubt very much that K-scape would remove this feature. The problem is that "Play Movie" does not exist for non-catalogued discs, which caused quite a bit of frustration...

    Workaround found! Non-catalogued Blu-Ray cannot be played due to region mismatch

    Hello, I previously posted about the problem with Region B Blu-ray discs that are not recognized (not catalogued by Kaleidescape). Some of these discs would not play when pressing "Play Disc" and I ended up with a message that the Blue Ray region does not match, although I have both Region A...

    reset M300?

    Yep, you need the M-series (M300, M500, M700) for BluRay. Non-M models are DVD only.

    Q: Must complete store be migrated to Encore storage

    Yes, of course. But for now I would leave my living room HD-only (and not opt in for Disney), so I only need access to the Premier. Let me rephrase my question: Does "merge your libraries under one system" on the Strato+Costar+M500 in my HT mean that the Premier menu system no longer will be...

    Q: Must complete store be migrated to Encore storage

    I'd definitely want to do this for my HT. However, if I do this, can the M500 in my livingroom still access all content on the Premier system? Thanks, Peter
