Will this be part of the recorded YouTube video for those of us that won't be able to watch live?

I can think of a couple of advantages. If Kscape ever should go under, you would at least still have access to all of those movies. At least until the hard drives fail. The second would be if you want to browse you collection with friends with the expectation to start watching immediately...

Call me a cheapskate, but a 4K player priced at $1K would actually have me considering this. 1080P is a complete non-starter, though. I do think the six-movie storage size is reasonable and wouldn't be an issue for me.

It was being discussed fairly openly in the AVS thread with some of the testing being done by members. As far as I could tell, it never got past alpha phase testing and it's been radio silence from Hobie for just over a year now, so I'm not counting on it. It would still be a nice bridge point...

As an HTP-1 owner, I really appreciate the review. And while the Storm is outside of my budget, it does make me hopeful that maybe someday we'll finally see ART show up on the Monolith product. I'm not holding my breath, though. Great to see your loving your new processor and that you can...

Costco had a sale on pork belly just over a week ago, so my wife picked up a 10# package. I cut it up into a variety of sizes, both slabs and cubes and then vacuum sealed them with spices or sauces. They then cooked for 25 hours at 155 degrees. Here's what 10# looks like, packaged and ready...

I also like to keep favorites on hand for guests that would be fun to watch with guests

It's not really all that much work. When we get new movies, my wife reads them off and I add them to the list. A simple sort puts them in order. I would think the free online version of Excel would work great for this, although I personally haven't used it. Google Sheets would probably work...

I just track them through a simple Excel spreadsheet that I created. It's easy to share with friends and the slicer makes it quick to jump to different titles. I have cells for DVD and Digital, but most of those are not logged yet. I also skipped the Laserdiscs. On the to-do list is adding...

We have over 600 movies on Blu-ray, 4K, and HD DVD, but only about 20% are 4K. Then there's another collection of Laserdisc, VHS, and DVD, but I don't have any count on those. Most have been replaced when rereleased, but not all of them have been. We try to watch about 100 movies per year...

I share your frustration and ended up buying one of these kits from Amazon: Works great, although the sticky tape that comes with it wasn't the best for adhering them to the bottom of my slightly textured shelves (I'll eventually fasten them with screws. To help route cables down the legs of...

When listening to music alone, I prefer plain old stereo. With a group, Auromatic does an excellent job of widening the sweet spot for multiple seating locations. In the comparisons I've done with 5.1 or 7.1 movies, DTS Neural X has been the hands down winner in blending the tops with the...

I had asked about the interface for locally stored movies in the chat, and the answer was that it was just a simple text display. Looking at their firmware changelog, I found this: Simple poster wall function—When browsing files in the VIDEO category, if the current ITEM is a directory and...

I have four JTR Captivator 1400s (sadly long discontinued), two at quarter points of the front wall and two at quarter points along the rear wall. They're manually EQed with REW and then blended with my mains with Dirac Live BC. Since there hasn't been any updates on the addition of Dirac ART...

Hmm, I get the following message when I click on the website link:
