Am I trying to do something the hard way or....?
Im wanting to basically make a streaming HTPC that my other systems can connect to and play movies in whichever room Im in.
Is it possible to create a VCD disk past Z , like "AA", "AB" etc...? I'm wanting to mount all my movies in order to access thru a home network for viewing wherever. Is there a different/easier way to do this? I know of the Roku type boxes you can get, but $$ is a no go for me. I have computers in all my rooms , connected to my internet, I've look at XBMC, Windows Media, and other DVD/Bluray players, but I have to mount the ISO'S before playing them over the internet. Obviously I have a brain fart going on, every Media library software I've tried wants the files mounted for me to just click on them to play them. I would like a Netflix like setup of my files. Do I need to convert every movie to a ".MKV" to view without mounting ? What am I not understanding.
Any & all help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Here's what I have to work with;
3 XP, 1 Win 7 Ultimate (main) systems
(All 4gb ram or more, all AMD Phenom X4/Intel 3.2 GHZ or more)
Linksys Router E2500
Internet Connection
8TB in USB drives / 4TB internal drives
(all fully loaded with "iso's of my library. )
Thank you in advanced for any & all help and to keeping your laughing behind "PM's"...
