    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...

    Replicate off dead 5U

    I have a 5U server from a client that is dead. Replacing power supplies has not worked. I think I need to get him into another server. The problem is, how do I get his content off this unit? I don't want him to have to rip 5TB worth of DVD and CD over again - especially as he has no bulk loader...

    Replication and software version

    Anybody ever had a replication stop mid replication and start erroring out because the destination server decided to upgrade its software version during the middle of a replication? Very annoying...

    Where in the world am I?

    Quick little movie trivia question: Can anybody recognize this restaurant? If so, name the movie. If you really have some skills, what is the actual name of the restaurant in real life? I just took a colleague there for dinner yesterday. Unfortunately, she has not seen the movie. :(

    TV series - Disc to digital

    I am wondering why there is such a high percentage of films with disc to digital offerings but no TV series have them, even when they are from studios that offer disc to digital on their movies. As somebody who has a large amount of vault space filled with TV shows, I wonder if this is going to...

    Kaleidescape Store Sales Growth

    In a fit of boredom, I ran numbers on the average quarterly sales in the Kaleidescape store. These are not official stats from Kaleidescape and are only a tally of numbers of orders and do not take into account revenue, profit or size of order. To accomplish this, I simply ran a list of all my...

    Strato Player - First impressions

    I just got my Strato player and started downloading some new content. I noticed a couple things that were pretty cool. First, they offer a wifi option. I don't know if that will be viable for streaming content from another server of if this is just mainly for downloading off the store and...

    New store download options?

    I just did the mass disk to digital option in the store for the Fox titles and noticed a new option. I don't know if this is because I have the Strato on my account now or something else. Now when I select the systems to download the content to, I was given the following choice (on my Premier...

    Is there any way to find out if the 4k content on the store has the wider color gamut and HDR? I wanted use some of the content to compare displays as I have to upgrade TVs in the house now.

    Drive rebuild times

    I did a force fail of a hard drive upgrade on a hard drive in my server to move from 4TB drives to 6TB drives, as I didn't want to have two months of having some of my content offline during a replication (60TB of content). I could have sworn my memory was drive rebuilds taking roughly one day...

    4K content list

    Anybody know what 4K titles will be available when the system launches? I am fairly certain they will be the Sony titles but I don't see a list of which movies they have been selling on their own 4K device they sold to go with their 4K televisions. I would be willing to bet they are going to be...

It is now locked into a smaller subset of the screen and some of the menu options don't show on the screen now. I have deleted and reinstalled it but it is still acting up. Anybody have an idea on why...
