  1. Yea i know i wont be able to stream the entire iso(as is) but i can easily get on using logmein an mount the image in deamon tools like i always do, push play when powerdvd or vlc starts up with the menu and viola. from there i would just stream the output of whatevers being "seen" by the sling box right? I guess now all i have to do is breakdown and buy a sling box. Thanks guys!!!
  2. orb wont do iso's. i use it now for other stuff though. ill look into slingbox and opera unite. thanks guys
  3. yea your right. i missed the whole 33 hours comment. forgive me. im ready to blow my head off. my wifes ENTIRE family is here!!! this may be a stretch but what about a sling box? is there any way to rig one up to work somehow? i could even stuff an extra pc and a tv in a closet if i had to.
  4. yea my speed her kinda sucks. also i was not really thinking about blurays. i was mainly thinking about my standard def dvds of which i have thousands. fifteen minutes wouldnt be bad buy the way. let me ask this, if i may. 1. Does anyone have any experience with vlc player streaming stuff? 2 Would some sort of ftp thing (whatever the hell it is) help? i downloaded one of them but have had kinda a hard time setting it up. Im not real good with routers so thats been a bit of a challenge. 3 is there any benefit to having a website built where i can just enter a user name and password and "host" them from there? I wouldnt really be apposed to that cause from that i can add some of my mainlobby automation stuff as well. Thanks for the feedback. keep it coming. i appreciate it
  5. Thanks for the replies guys. I do have logmein free right now with ignition on my iphone but it doesnt support video streaming. Neither does pro unfortunately. music yes, video no, unless its in a format that is displayed thru windows media drive as apposed to the video card aka wmp only. Booooooo. I honestly wouldnt even be apposed to some sort of ftp if thats what it takes as long as the download only takes a few minutes and not an hour. I looked into cyberlinks service because they say access ALL your files, videos, music and pics from anywhere, but low and behold, again, iso's dont make the cut. i have been buying bluray for about 65% of the new movies i buy but would really like to stay away from that digital copy bs. I figured ill use it every so often on the plane but if im buying a freakin blu ray movie, i damn well want to watch it on my hd projector in my theater, not on a plain with some fat smelly guy snoring next to me. thanks again. keep the input comin
  6. Hi. I know its been talked about before but not sure what ever happened other than several of you going "DONT DO IT". i wanna do it. Im going to start traveling every week soon and i want to be able to access the thousands of iso's i have on my unraid servers from my laptop in the hotels ill be in. i also have an xp box running mainlobby next to the unraid boxes so if i need to run something on there i can. simply put, what do i need. im not apposed to buying some sort of software or even a service as long its reasonable. I really dont want to spend 500 a year but i wouldnt mind 50 or 75 a year as long as it allows me to stream my iso's. Can this be done? thanks
  7. Nope, i hacked my phone and found it in cydia. If any of you have an iphone and get fed up with Crapple, try sinfuliphone.com. it is VERY useful. Thanks
  8. Is there any way to access My two unraid servers with Hamachi? I have my hamachi network set up but im wondering how will i be able to view my servers from my laptop when im on the road. ANy thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys Don
  9. does anyone who has an iphone have the original google voice app? (not this web browser pos and not the cydia version) again, i know its completely off topic but i dont know where else to turn. thanks

  11. I screwed up and didnt buy enough drive cages for the old style servers and Tom is all out. Anyone have any extras they would be willing to sell? or do you have a recomendation for one of those five in three things? Thanks, Don Burkard
  12. 2 tb is bigger than 1 tb. all kidding aside i have never used the wd drives but i hear good things. by the way your hooked now aren't ya? Trust me in about three weeks your gonna be just like me, pimpin unraid all over the ml forum look up a post here called "quite possibly the best compliment to unraid" (i think thats what it was called)
  13. stick with the bigger psu. but other than that it looks almost identical to mine as well. ps i just pm'd you on MAIN LOBBY'S (BY IT UNRAID PEOPLE! ITS AWESOME!!!) before i got your response. i mentioned a different case but this one works good to
  14. Hi guys. I currently have two asus m2n32-sli deluxe mbs in my two unraid servers. One of them is an older on and the little 4 pin(12v) power connector burnt up for some reason. So my question is this, Does anyone have any suggestions on a mb (CHEAP) that i can use with this memory (Corsair Dual Channel TWINX 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz E.P.P. Memory (2 x 1024)) and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Processor ADA4200CUBOX - 2.20GHz, 1MB Cache, 1000MHz (2000 MT/s) FSB, Windsor, Dual-Core, Retail, Socket AM2? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  15. i read something that said the liquidation company that is handling the closing went in and jacked up the prices before everything went on sale. It said to wait as long as possible to buy anything at CC so you can be sure your getting a good deal. Compare prices before doing anything!
  16. Holy $#!T!!! That is amazing! Ok well i was just thinking about nintendo, sega, super nintendo, atari, playstation, playstation 2, xbox, gamecube, neogeo, wii,etc. will those sits point me in the right direction? I ask because im trying to avoid looking at to much other stuff. I have a tendency to see and want, therefor if i see any others, i will want, and then have to build another damn server. Thank you, by the way. im glad i asked, and kinda scared at the same time.

    Emulators??

    Hi guys, One of my buddies has an old xbox that he bought off a friend. I played with it and man was i surprised to find that i could play the Zelda from super Nintendo. I have a few wireless Playstation style remotes that are built for pc's (Circuit City's loss is my gain). My question is this, does anyone know anything about emulators? Id like to get one that does all the game consoles if possible? any one have any thoughts for me? thanks
  18. This isnt the same as a previose post about the need for a fancy logo before anyone gets all huffity puffity. I would like to know if anyone out there has a copy of the lime tech logo? Is it legal for them to share it with me? Heres why... I use Main Lobby and would like to add a button that opens my tower up. I thought it would be nice to have a little pic of the lime that pops into the text bar in firefox when you go to unraids website. Sort of like using it as a icon on the desktop. If you dont have the lime, could you recomend something else that may look nice. Thanks guys
  19. "I guess what I'd do in your case is a sage server, USB-UIRT to control the digital set-top box and a Hauppauge HD-PVR to grab it. Add a "HD Theater" box on each TV and your set. " What, What, and what? Explain please. Thanks by the way.
  20. OH MY FREEKIN GOD!!!! what a crock! What the hell is wrong with these companys? Do they not talk to each other or the public or anyone at all? This seems to me to be a pretty common thing now a days, tv on the pc. Why the hell hasnt comcast or direct tv or dish or all of them come up with a way to do this? they would make money off it. i guarantee it. Or the computer industry? Eventually we are all going to be watching and listening straight from computers so why the hell dont they just pull the freekin plug already and get it done! some one should really work on that. ok im off the soapbox now. sorry. Anyway, JRS and BubbaQ, yea that isnt even worth it. My goal is to be able to get rid of all this extra crap and just have my pc's, my unraid servers, my reciever (in the theater and familyroom), and the tv's or projecter. no more cable boxes, no more dvd players, no more cd players, none of the extra crap. Complete integration. Man that sucks. Thanks for the imput anyway. I really appreciate it. Also BubbaQ, you mentioned the firewire port on the comcast box. What is that going to do for me? What does the dvhs emulation do? im not sure what you mean by dvhs. im a dummy when it comes to this stuf for the most part. Shouldnt a firewire, or usb port for that matter have a two way connection? shouldnt this give you the ability to control the box just like you do with the ir remote while also giving you the picture and sound threw the same port, or even the regular output for that matter?
  21. Im sticking with anydvdhd. It works real well so why go and change things up if there is no reason to. Also if you dont have anydvdhd yet, BUY IT NOW, before the new year. They are not going to offer free lifetime updates on purchases after the new year. buy it! Its worth it! thanks for the input by the way.
  22. I have some basic questions about watching tv on your pc. 1. Does anyone make a capture card that can do more than 125 channels? I currently have like 500 channels and i want to be able to get them on my pc. 2. Anyone know anything about comcast digital boxes? i tried calling comcast to find out if i could link the box to the card so i cans still access all the channels and guides and everything but the tard on the other end had no clue what i was talking about. 3. What software do you guys like best? Beyondtv, mythtv, etc. Thanks guys.
  23. WOW!!!!!! That's so much faster! That is amazing. How did i ever live without that? Thanks Again.
