Are you referring to the menu's? I used Plex previously but there were a few things about it I didn't like, likely because I wasn't using a decent front-end. Does Plex serve content to the WDTV without transcoding? Will it pass DTS MA and TrueHD as well as the myriad of file formats without...

I'm kind of surprised that you would get what appears to be a consumer grade router after spending the money on all the other enterprise grade components. :)

I finally picked up a WDTV live to hold me over until I build a new rig. I really am digging the picture quality on my Panny and the fact that I can click on a BD .iso and it just plays, with DTS MA audio to boot, is fantastic. Much easier than fiddling with my DLNA server. So far it's played...

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. I'll be happy if I can manage to configure XBMC to mount an .iso and play it with TMT and then go back into XBMC upon movie exit. That way I can have BD menus if I want them, still play pass-thru mkv's with top notch quality, live and recorded TV shows, and...

That's the first I've heard of the WDTV live having a crappy picture. It was my understanding that the WDTV Live is one of, if not the only streaming box capable of DTS MA, perhaps my understanding is a bit lacking with regards to audio but is this not lossless? I was just about to buy one to...

Yes, I should have been more specific, that is my fault. I use WMS for more than just flac streaming since I currently do not have a HTPC. I imagine once I do build a HTPC I would use XBMC. I had tried to use Plex as a DLNA server similar to how I use WMS, and for that purpose I found it to be...

You are correct, it is not written in python its written in delphi, though I did say that I thought it may be written in python, not that I was sure. A bit of a rude comment, as I was simply sharing my experience, not pushing snake oil. The software works great for me, and yes it cost me $15...

Wild Media Server has been fantastic with my Denon X4000 and I believe its Python based. Never an issue playing any of the flac files I have. I've ran it head to head with Plex and find that Plex pales in comparison. I really don't understand why people like it so much, I've found it to be...

I'm just saying that $4000 for a device that doesn't do everything, relative to our discussion, is ridiculous. So essentially I have to pay someone 4K for the licensing right to stream my already purchased media, sounds legit!

So, it appears there is a hole in the market then, that is only filled by a $4000.00 device. Does the Cinema One even do Netflix? Surely someone has looked to fill the gap in the market but is failing, I wonder why...

Not really the discs, I'm referring to .iso's of the discs. Storage isn't an issue, convenience is. I don't want to have to get up and slap a disc in the drive. I would like to push a button on a remote and have a .iso load and play as I have quite a few BD iso's. I suppose I could convert...

Thanks mate, I wonder if theres a plugin for XBMC that allows you to mount up a bd/dvd .iso through TMT. If not I bet a custom script would do the job. Can't wait to see how Chris is doing with his new HTPC. I will likely be canceling cable soon, thanks for all the help everyone!

Picture quality with our cable provider is horrible as well. The only reason why we still have cable is because of HBO, and its HBO that has quality issues, (along with CBS and quite a few others). During any fast moving scenes the picture becomes blocky I guess you would say. Turning on...

Is XBMC intuitive enough to select the highest quality audio track available in a BD .iso? Or can you at least select which track you want to use, such as DTS MA or True-HD? Will it do the same with .mkv or m2ts files created from BD discs that contain all original audio tracks? One of the...

I probably should have read this prior to posting the thread I just posted.

I'm looking to toss our current DLNA solution as it is simply becoming more than I care to manage. I am an IT guy by trade, and while I love to tinker with computers, networking etc, however, after spending 8+ hours on the job the last thing I want to do is have to tinker with a piece of tech...

What features do the Samsung SmartTV's offer that Chromecast does not? I have all panny smartv's and no chromecast, but am looking to buy either a samsung smartv for my son or a vizio and chromecast.

Does your AVR have an ARC HDMI port? If it does you can connect the Smart TV, provided it also has an ARC HDMI port, to the ARC port on your receiver thus negating the need for a Toslink cable. However, if you do not have a ARC port on both devices, and want to use the features of a SmartTV...

Google's chromecast, for only $35, is a pretty good deal for Netflix, HBO GO etc. It does 1080p Netflix with a 5Mbps+ connection. On my Panny TC-P65VT60 I can display an info overlay while streaming Netflix that tells me what resolution the stream is currently running at. I've noticed that...
