Also online content is hit and miss (mostly miss) when using Plex-Linux/Roku App because of a lack of Flash/Silverlight capability. But limited to DD5.1 (plex transcodes DTS).
Then for about a week (aka last week) I tested out a Roku 2 + Plex: This got me 5.1 sound via Plex as well as Netflix. Plex-Unraid is still frankly a bit twitchy and more important, Roku 1 will not do 5.1 sound with Plex or Netflix. Then I went to Roku HD-XR + Plex: gave me a pretty front end for viewing local content as well as great meta data. I'm interested to see the responses becasue I have yet to find any discussion online to help sort this out and since I'm pretty much starting from scratch, I'd like to do it right the first time.įWIW, add Boxee Box to your list of devices. Right now I'm looking pretty hard at Plex as it seems to do most of what I need it to and hopefully with futher development will be the complete package. Metadata for everything and an easy to use interface, not something that will just play a file (maybe the case with the Dune?) I know many of the applications will play the the video from the file but won't support the menus.Ĥ.

Audio compatibility with the lossless formats such as True HD, Master Audio, ect, as well as full surround sound support.ģ.
#TWONKY AND ROKU PS3#
From reading the "How are you using unRaid" sticky it's clear that most of you guys are storing large media libraries, so what hardware/software are you using to watch the content? What have you tried, liked, disliked.? I don't really even know about all the possible options, but what I see people using are XBMC, Plex, PS3 Media Server, PopCorn Hour, Dune, Yet Another Media Jukebox, Twonky, VLC.Īspects that I'm particularly interested in and assume are shared interest by many others judging from the numerous forum threads I've read on the subject are:ġ. Plus, when I do read about them in various forums there is so much abbreviating for multiple devices and terms that it's very hard to figure out what people are talking about sometimes. PS3 Media Server works, but I have seen so many alternatives that I can't possibly keep them all strait.
#TWONKY AND ROKU TV#
Now I am building a new house and am looking for a whole-home media solution with all the movies and TV shows accessable from TVs, computers, tablets, smartphones, etc throughout the house. Then I wanted to be able to watch movies on the living room TV and found Playstation 3 Media Server was able to accomplish this. I started out with a couple external hard drives connected to my desktop, and I watched movies on the computer only. It looks like going with unRaid for storing your media is a near perfect solution from a storage standpoint, but when it comes to serving up the media things are not so clear cut. After searching around I've come across unRaid which seems to be a very popular solution for storing large media collections. So I have a digital media collection of about 6TB, 95% movies and TV shows, that is growing fast.
