![]() ![]() Eg I tried a 3-hour 1080p movie, and my Chip took 40 hours to transcode it. Having said all that, the media must be pre-processed, which can take a long time if it's high quality. ![]() Much safer to have your kids watching your own library rather than randomly browsing Youtube - who knows what they'll come across.Great if you've got limited bandwidth and can't let your kids watch eg Netflix.Automatically finds all metadata for movies and TV shows.Just drop your eg VOB files into a 'New' folder using eg ForkLift or Cyberduck, and it'll wait until transfer has completed and then begin importing it automatically.Seekable - because it pre-processes your media into HLS, which makes individual files for every few seconds, your media seeks perfectly (important for kids!).Simple - therefore, hopefully more reliable than the other common alternatives.The same applies if you use a cheap fanless laptop (which would otherwise be underpowered to run, say, Plex). Silent - my old media center spins its fans all day - this one won't, as most SBC's have no fan.Not hot - my old media center in my garage gets quite hot, and I worry about it in summer! This one won't.Cheap - you don't need to buy an expensive computer or NAS that's fast enough to transcode in real time. ![]()
