let me start by saying great work on this...its soooo what id like to use. however, im a pretty green newbie and at a bit of a loss on some of what is explained in the thread. so ill tell everyone what im workin with and let ya'll tell me what i need to do to make this work for me....in newbie terms would be much appreciated...im big believer in K.I.S.S.=Keep It Simple Stupid.

Hi,

I like to believe that Kroozbox is easy to install even if there is no user interface for the installation. Most of the posts on this thread relates to specific problems or adjustments that users would like to have. You don't need to understand all of the posts.
You should at least open the readme.txt file inside the package. Windows have what it takes to extract all the files from the zipped package.
Extract:
* Make sure that Java runtime 1.5 or more is installed. Run "Java -version" from the cmd prompt to ensure its availability.
  (Java can be downloaded from http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp)
* Unzip the content of Kroozbox package to the forlder of your choice.
* Start the software by running the "STARTME.bat" file.
* Turn on your Media Tank and TV and select the service you want (standard or high definition service)

When this is working (with the sample provided), point Kroozbox to your PVD file and restart it.
You do that by opening  ./template/PVDTemplate-HD/Kroozbox.properties
Change the value of the "dbName" property to point to your PVD file.


Hope that helps,
Nono

thanks for the quick reply nono, however after a lil more researching..
i get the idea that im missing a key hardware component...the media tank lol. (unless the ps3 serves as that role???) but i checked my java and im good there. run the startme.bat and a "dos" looking screen appears (again im pretty green here lol) turn on ps3 and tv and...no luck. not even sure how to get to kroozbox properties or even how to "point" in its direction. i can only assume that these steps are made possible with a "media tank"??
i thought that this would allow me to find my movies for streaming, thru my ps3, using the pvd listing and template appearance, and then choose the movie and have it stream to my tv thru my ps3. wishful thinking on my part perhaps, just not wanting to buy another media componet when i have a ps3.
if im waaayy off of how this intended to work thanks for your help any ways, if not then appearently i need waaayyy simpler, and more specific tutorial.  either way thanks :-[
