Hi all
Noob here, my setup for media sharing content has been my main pc running 24/7 with air video streaming to tablet/phone and serviio streaming to my samsung dlna tv (ue46eh6030). I also have an old pc connected to the tv to play streaming flash website content (mainly sports).
I have since moved house and have wired the whole place with cat6, and have a networking cabinet with many free 19" bays where i wanted to install a NAS, so my pc (gaming machine 800w psu etc) doesn't need to be on 24/7. I am planing to install 3 more tv's so in total there would be 4 tvs connected with cat6.
So my 3 requirements for a NAS / AV receiver combo are:
1- stream ALL video /mp3 formats to tv (with transcoding servviio style)
2- Some solution for webcasting/streaming to ipad like what air video does when i am not at home
3- being able to watch flash content on tv (here i guess is the av/receiver that would replace the pc)
I have loads of win7 generation machines and laptops if i need to run the nas as a windows pc, but i am not sure any of my motherboards/psus etc would fit a case for 19" rack.
I am not an audiophile, a standard pc 2.1 like a logitech sounds good enough for me.
any suggestions are welcome as to what type of gear i should be looking to get.
Thanks
