Side Loading Content on Strato and Terra

A friend told me that there is a way to “side load” video content onto a Strato or Terra outside of Downloading from the kstore. Is there a way to do this that is blessed by kscape? Yes, but not blessed by kscape?

There is no method to do that "blessed" by K, and to my knowledge no way to do that not blessed by K, so until someone can show me that directly, I'm calling BS on the assertion (by your friend). :)

If you really are referring to sideloading then I have no idea why someone would buy extremely expensive K hardware for that. There's plenty of other good alternatives out there where you can add whatever you want.

K does offer some services to "pre-load" legitimate store content for you so that you don't have to download it from the store.
 
Unless someone calls replicating between servers as “sideloading”….

Good point, maybe I'm misunderstanding his question (I assumed he was referring to copying discs, or content from another non-K server (Plex, etc.).

There's also the practice of loading a custom "My Home Theater" intro/trailer type file to play before movies. Used to be a feature in the system but has since been removed.
 
Plus, isn't/wasn't there some option for those looking to go all-Encore where K would load home-movie type content into a private enclave in the store for that user only?

I do wish this option would come back. I’d really like Nicole Kidman to welcome me to my home theater instead of having to go out for it.
 
There was ultraviolet once, you could buy a movie and stick the UV code into KS and it would import the movie. Maybe means that
 
Pretty sure the OP is referring to the Marine version, where K will download your movies to a set of drives and then ship that out to you, so you can pop them in the Terra server before the ship leaves port.

Sorry for not being clear in the OP. This is what my question is about. A friend told me that this could still be done on Strato and Terra systems but Rusty in Kscape support said not in the Strato/Terra line. Just wanted to know if there is a way to do this that may not be blessed by Kscape.
