Kroozbox - PVD to media theatre solution

<< < (24/27) > >>

I have now a fine pvd-file wich is working correct on my computer if i browse to port 9008. The problem is now
that i have static path to my movies because i had this path (mapped drive) on my computer.

Therefore it wont work on the popcorn. What shall i do to solve this?

In my computer i have, Z:\HD-Movies and on the popcorn i have samba to 192.168.1.4/hd-movies

kotten:
It works now and i am happy, thanks.

There is something that i dont understand, how does the sort order work? If i have a movie that should be on one other place, how do i change that?

kotten:
Some problem now. Suddenly after a restart of my win7 64-bit computer the kroozbox service is hanging. I wont start, it only say starting.

is there any log-file i can read?

I have tried to remove the service and install it again. I have also downloaded the kroozbox package and use these files
instead of mine, if i maybe have change something in some file. No change.

What can it be?

Hi All,
running PVD and Kroozebox, on a Windows XP Pro  machine and a Popcorn hour, for the last couple of years with no problems. Getting to the stage when my raid card is getting past it as it only supports 1TB drives and max raid 5 size of 2TB. Already have 3 raids setup each pointing to the next holding all my files . All works well.
Have ordered a 12 port Sata 2 card which hopefully supports > 2TB drives and raid sizes to the limit of the OS. I know about the problems with raid but have found no problems running it.

My question is, what is the way forward as far as an OS is concerned ?
Not a fan of Linux etc so am down to Windows.
My thoughts are go with Win 7 but think will have a problem as my drives are different sizes, 4 x 750, 4x 500 amd 4 x 320 so there may be little advantage in going this route.
My other idea was a Windows Home server using drive extender. I have one running at the moment using different drives sizes for a total of approx 11 TB. I use this to store backups of my films and the computer backups.
Will PVD/Kroozebox etc run on WHS or has anyone any other ides ?

All the best
Paul

Forgot to say , running Win XP pro 32 bit. Would XP Pro 64 bit be an easier path ?
