    Millennium Club (Who's With Me!)

    I have 1248 in my library as is. If Movies Anywhere was available to be liked to K Store it would be around 3200.

    WHO DO I CURSE? ;-) SILENT MOVIES CLICK BAITED BY ROTTEN TOMATOES rating

    I think there's a bigger problem here. You're asking that silent movies be CLEARLY labeled. But at the same time you state that you thought this was a "new" movie. So am I wrong that not only did the silent aspect get missed, the fact that's it's nearly 100 years old get missed. I don't know...

    Movies Anywhere?

    No “derailing” attempted. I had pulled up the Bring MA to K discussion thread but it appears that I must have somehow switched threads before posting and I delete it and move it unfortunately. Things happen, back to more relevant thread topics.

    Movies Anywhere?

    If that’s the case why did they even sign up with UV in the first place, and stay signed up as well. I’ve got 1500 titles from k store on my K system. Largely bought because I came I got tired of messing with disc and wanted something more polished and refined. I sold or donated all my disc...

    Movies Anywhere?

    The one thing keeping be from buying more boxes and a LOT more movies is lack of a MA support. I like to watch movies in UHD whenever I travel. So places I can’t travel with one of my K system, which is a LOT I’m forced to switch to the next best solution which is Vudu. Pre MA this was fine as...

    Kaleidescape vs. DIY (RIPing)

    I kind of skimmed through this and didn’t re-read the comments from the prior older thread. I do have a few comments. There’s a significant amount of titles lately that are not being released on 4K disc, but only BD and DVD to an extent. Streaming is however 4K, and HD, with maybe SD. Prices...

    CEDIA 2019

    Looking forward to the day I can uncross my fingers regarding Movies Anywhere, especially Disney “owned” properties. This is a big deal with me with K as 4K is my direction and with lack of 4K “and” physical media on recent platforms MA is critically important on my side. Want to hedge my bets...

    CEDIA 2019

    Regarding a $1k or so product I would spend more total money adding more units myself. But I agree with most that the masses won’t go for it. Look at how the $500 to $1000 dedicated Vudu hardware worked out for them back it the day. It was kind of the K system of its day. Didn’t last long and...

    CEDIA 2019

    I would agree but there’s tons of titles (especially 80’s and early 90’s) that either never made it to even DVD, or made it to DVD (more likely) but never made it to BD, 4K, or even streaming. Some of that is due to the cost of conversion and lack of enough interest for a profit, but often...

    Apple TV

    If K offered something like the Vudu D+D program I would buy soooo much more from the K store. And considering I have thousands of titles in my account that’s saying something. That’s said I don’t see this being really possible for K single Vudu is owed by Walmart and when you order a D+D...

    KPLAYER5000 shelf life

    Not disagreeing with the power supply at all, especially knowing the kind of impact they can take if the power to a device isn’t cleaned and corrected and only connected to wall power or a certain level of surge protection. This makes total sense, esp in same envirment. I would wonder myself...

    Force-fail upgrading of a drive (redux)

    Not being overly familiar with whatever file system K is using but being dangerously familiar with various raid systems I’m curious if assuming the same total storage space (unformatted) is it more reliable or have more drives on a smaller volume or less drives of a smaller volume? Only assuming...

    Strato with a non-4K display?

    This is good to know. I still have a handful of 1080P displays between home and work so it’s good to know this could be an issue if I connect a Strato to one of the 1080P. That said even a mediocre 4K is so cheap these days it’s probably just better to replace any 1080P displays before...

    Co-Star HDMI Switching Problems

    Typically in these type of situations try eliminating or swapping out one item at time until the problem eliminates improves (or possible gets worse.) My first thought would be to bypass the Denon, or one cable at a time, or with a different receiver or HDMI switcher. Even different HDMI inputs...

    NEWS: Price Increase Coming July 1st.

    Working on the finance side for a large Japanese consumer electronics company in the US who imports products to the US from Japan and other Asian (and non Asian) countries I can tell you are costs have gone up; not just for tariffs (notable) but raw material costs (less notable). As others have...

    UV shutting down 7/31

    I’m still missing a considerable 155 titles from the day before the disconnection. How many others are missing titles? I seriously can understand how titles that were there before disconnection were DRASTICALLY less after disconnection. There were obviously available so why disappear with...

    Are the rack ears the same for the M500 and the 1U premiere server?

    I’m pretty sure there are plenty of third party options if you need something.

    Is there a 1U rack to hold an M300 and a Strato C next to each other?

    While they “might” be a factory solution for such a less common combination there is always custom solutions for rack mounts. I wouldn’t consider moving from a Strato to a Strato C or while not keeping the Strato and just adding the Terra considering the minor price difference between the...
