Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    The father in law has one of the old WD TV boxes before they had ethernet, works reasonably well, but I see it more as a plug in a memory stick to watch a move, then remove and copy a new movie to the stick sort of device rather than a keep all your media on that HDD thing...

    Seems to be a bit painful to cycle through large libraries... like the few TB's I have

    Like I said, HD is limited to 1280 x 720 and even then only if converted just right. I have a couple of converters which seem to do a half decent job too. Reality being that there isn't a lot of content about anyway and where there is downloading it is just crazy when it's 5GB+. For example a 576p file with 5.1 channel sound is about 2.5GB for a movie so 720p or 1080 is going to be HUUUGE!

    Again, I'm happy to show people it running if they want to come around and have a look see.

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

      Yep, HD has a lot of bits. There's plenty of content out there, it's just moving it that presents the challenge.
