Red Rocker? I thought maybe Sammy was there. Oh well.

Got my old Boxee Box "hacked"/updated with Kodi and Plex client. It's finally useful again and the interface is pretty snappy for an older box.
Now to continue ripping all of my DVDs to my Plex server. This may take a while.

Happy Monday! Trying to finish getting caught up on emails. And clean up the MC mess in my house (there are boxes everywhere)!

Having seen the setup that @art_of_shred and @Minion-Queen have, I am considering doing the same. The ReadyNAS is already in place and stocked with media.

It's running Win10, as a player, I know it had VLC as one of two players.. @art_of_shred or @Mike-Ralston would know.
-
It has VLC on it that's it
-
We have a external hard drive connected to it as well. Works great. Most of our movies are on a NAS, ITunes (have an appletv) or Amazon.
-
Win 10 is pretty expensive for that unit considering everything else.

considering everything else.That sums it up. The alternative is free so...
-
for the $170 that we spent on it. It has been great. It runs what we need really well (we also use it for Pandora and YouTube etc). It's nice to have a full desktop in the living room and makes it easy to watch things from the NAS. I could have put iTunes on it as well but I won the AppleTv so .... might as well use it.

$170 included the OS?
-
Yup the whole thing.

So you mentioned a NAS - what are you using for a NAS? And how do you get your data on the NAS? manually copy things there?
