Kroozbox - PVD to media theatre solution
Paul T:
Sorry for the delay in answering.
On My Setup I have 2 Drives both with a folder called "Films eg S:\Films\ and a New one R:\Films\
O/K for a start CREATE a NEW folder in the directory where all your existing films are in my case I created a folder called "Films on R Drive" so I have S:\Films\Films on R Drive\
Right Click on your "My Computer" Icon on your Desktop
Left Click "Manage"
Left Click "Disk Management"
In the list of Hard Drives disk 0, disk 1 etc Right Click on your NEW Drive (my example you would Right Click on the R Drive).
After a Right Click select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
Click "Add" and browse to the New folder you created above ie browse to S:\Films\Films on R Drive\
Click O/K
Click O/K
If you have set it up correctly you should see 2 entries entries when you Right Click on your NEW drive under "Disk Management"
I Have 1) R:
and 2) disk name (S:) \Films\Films on R Drive
Good luck
Paul T :)

KroozBox Version: 2.0
Operating System: Windows XP
I am having a bit of trouble with this, I have been trying to figure out how to play the movie without it copying to the Temorary Files directory, I would just like it to play automatically with my media player when I click on the 'play button' link.
Also, is there a way I can change the media player that it opens up with?
P.S. Keep up the good work, the support on this project is outstanding!
Thanks,
Jeramiah

This is more an issue with the browser and player that you are using.
What is the player?
What type of files (avi. mkv, etc)?
What browser are you using?
As to change the player... I think the easiest way is to right click on one of your video file from the location where your browser is running, choose "open with...", select "Choose default program...", select Windows Media Player (this one should start right away), make sure that "Always use the selected program..." checkbox is selected, ok. It will start to play and next time you call it from kroozbox the selected player should be use.
Make sense?

I two am having similar problems with version 2.0, let me give you a short run down on my issue.
I am using 3 hard drives to store my files all in AVI Format.
Drive t is for cartoons ( grand daughter loves them)
Drive u is for movies
Drive v is for recorded TV show's
When i click on a selection using IE nothing happens. I would like to use WMP but am open to others.
My open with selection is for WMP.
I have tried to read all of you posts and documentaton (boy you are good) but since I am not a programmer and have no idea what I am doing Im lost.
I am sure that this is just a simple change that I have mised but like i say IM SOOO LOST.
Thank you for any and all help you can give.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. It worked like a charm.
I tried that method a while back but I didn't share my new drive so it never worked.
Thanks
