Next broadly true point is that I’m general a NAS will last a good deal longer than a PC in terms of obsolescence and the major upgrades over time would be more / bigger disks for capacity as your libraries grow and more RAM to keep things running smoothly. This basically means that 2 x 4tb disks means you have an 8TB NAS but with a max of 4 x tb of data. The logic being of one disk fails you can still recover everything. In simple terms RAID is a system which provided mirrored copies of your data over two or more hard disks. You can get super geeky on this subject but here are a few relatively straightforward suggestions and thoughts. I also don’t want to go mad budget wise as what I’ve got works but I’d like it to be simpler and offer a bit more too. I’m thinking maybe a Nvidia Shield with a better HDD but don’t know anything about any of these systems so need some help. This is purely for playing movies in the cinema, periodically streaming them to other devices and providing data backup for our Macs. I don’t need any music storage/serving, we use Spotify and a bespoke ceiling speaker system around the house.

Nothing is setup to give access over the wireless network and I’ve had no need for it but reading this I’m wondering if there is a different setup I could use which would give the following:ġ) Simplify the playing of movies particularly for the wife! Currently you have to turn the laptop on in the media cupboard, dick around with the screen output so it pushes out at 1080p (it doesn’t remember once the system is powered down), turn on the amp and check it’s on the right source, turn on the projector, wait for Windoze to boot and then Kodi to start, open up the Kodi Remote app on the phone and then select a movie!Ģ) Offer the ability to stream movies stored on a drive to other devices (Smart TVs, iPads etc) on the wifi network.ģ) Allow the backup of our Macs to the drive over the network, ideally during the night.Ĥ) Have a mirror backup of the movies and data in case the main drive fails. We don’t stream anything via Kodi, instead I have an Amazon Fire also plugged into the amp and just switch the source over from the PC to the Fire for Netflix etc. I have a thousand odd movies on the HDD in various formats and they are accessed via Kodi. The laptop is connected by HDMI to my home cinema amp which is plugged into my projector via HDMI. I currently have a stand-alone Seagate HDD connected via USB to a laptop running Kodi.
You guys seem well clued up on this, hopefully you can help improve my setup.
