Cinema One (2nd gen) w/ Co-Star to Strato C and Terra setup questions

Rengozu

Well-known member
I finally just got a Co-Star hooked up to bridge my Cinema One and Strato C, but one thing I didn't realize (unless I'm missing it) is that now I don't have access to any of my music loaded to the Cinema One? I can't find anywhere to access it now that its linked. Spent a lot of time getting all of that on order and never thought about it not working anymore if I linked up. :p

Also, is there a migration option to transfer my currently owned Blu-ray quality titles to the Cinema One? I know I can just go through the process and re-download, but was hoping for a quicker one step in-house migration. Figured doing that would free up some 4K space for me in the long run.

Also have a Strato S in the house so I was relieved to see that the Cinema One titles only show up on the linked Strato C unit. Had been curious how that was going to work. Much less of a headache than clicking movies that the server can't display.

Thanks!
 
Yes you lose the music when paring so the work around I used was to add an additional Premier line player to my system (via e-bay) so I can still have the music play and accessible that is on my legacy system in the paired zones

With Cinema One, you'd need to add another Cinema One.

My suggestion, to be frank, is to migrate the music off of your Cinema One and onto some other platform. We provide a tool that will losslessly export your music to a PC or Mac for this purpose. The music functionality of the product is in a maintenance mode, with no metadata being added for newly released albums.

 
I just used the additional player solution to maintain access to the music and keep everything together. I did also export all my music using the music export tool and now have it on Roon as my music and streaming platform of choice, as for music I can't remember the last cd I bought so I hadn't picked up on the sunsetting of the metadata updates.
