    What happens to your K library when you croak? It must self destruct.

    "Hey kids, sorry your dad died. Just an FYI, we will be deleting all your Disney, Marvel and other films that you still watch in the house you shared with him tomorrow. If you want to buy them again at full retail, please click on this link..." I imagine that would not go over very well.

    New Feature Announcement: Season Pass

    Sounds great. Quick question - how long do the titles stay in the server? Is this essentially like buying them?

    Millennium Club (Who's With Me!)

    I had a speedreader but I sold it and am very happy I did as there is so little call for one now with the vaults. As for the millenium club, I am well established into that: 2,725 films + 13 concerts 693 titles from the k-store ~1200 or so audio CDs.

    SOLD: 6TB Drives for 1U or 3U

    How much for them? I can get them at demo cost for my system but if you are having a problem getting them moved and are not into them for too much, I might be able to get a few...

    Vault ejecting and erasing discs

    I have had three discs go bad on me that I don't have an easy solution for. One was Teen Wolf, which is available in the Kscape store, but there is no disc to digital version so I would have to pay full price for it. the other two are more annoying - one is a disc from a season of Mad Men so I...

    Music Playback License Required?

    They also used to have 2 different server packages - 5 streams or unlimited streams. When they dropped the pricing for newer servers, their older servers got the unlimited streams package and the newer ones had the 5 stream package, which preserved the perceived value of the older servers and it...

    Any method to transfer my Kaleidescape music library?

    You mean the music that was loaded into your Kaleidescape server? That is pretty easy to do with the Kaleidescape Conductor to download them onto a PC. If you don't have one, I would be happy to do that for you. Message me and we can discuss the logistics.

    I will take it.

    Force-fail upgrading of a drive (redux)

    Wow, I have not logged on in a while and totally missed this thread but will throw in my $0.02 as I have force fail upgraded several servers over the years. First off, it is more stressful than a replication. For this main reason, Kaleidescape does not recommend using this method, especially...

    Pre-owned systems; what happens to the MOVIES?

    Is it possible to sell/transfer one's store if they leave the Kaleidescape ecosystem?

    Disc no longer recognized

    I have a few discs that were loaded into the system, but for some reason now, they cannot be read and get ejected from the vault. Nothing ever happened to these discs as I just leave them in the vault. At least one of them is a disc#3 in a set and I would hate to have to rebuy an entire season...

    FOR SALE: Kaleidescape package

    I think the rules state you must have an asking price. That said, it would be hard for people to offer if they don't know what drives are in the server? How many drives total and how many of each size?

    Thanksgiving/Black Friday Sale?

    They have not been as spectacular as they were in the first couple years. I remember their sale the first year and yowzers it was awesome. I doubt we will ever see the likes of that again for a Black Friday sale, but if I do, I am all over it.

    Strto 6TB ISSUE

    Just out of curiosity, have you connected it to any other displays? If it works with another display, it would seem to indicate some sort of compatibility issue. If it doesn't work, that would look like a problem in the Strato. While it was running fine here, it could have possibly gotten...

    Any movie stars/celebs own a K system?

    I know of a retired NFL hall of fame player who not only owns a Kaleidescape, but had every one of his games on his server.

    KScape Strato and FPS (24hz to 59hz)

    Hmm, I have not tried to see if that is one of its video settings.
  18. Mr.Poindexter

    KScape Strato and FPS (24hz to 59hz)

    No. All video players will do that since just about all films are shot at 24fps and most monitors run at 60Hz. The main beauty of the 120Hz displays were that they would not have the judder issues from a 3:2 cadence and most displays sold today have the higher frame rates, I think.

    FOR SALE: Strato 6TB Players x 2

    Both units sold now. Thanks
