In my ongoing quest to update our technology to the heady heights of 2003 due to an increase in persons requiring space in the house, I am currently ripping a few DVDs to the OMV Pi based NAS. Unfortunately, the mancave Blu Ray player (a fairly ancient Sony 780) does not read .mkv files over a network.
Does anyone know of a player that can do this and which has a coax out for audio including surround (rather than optical due to all of the optical inputs being used), all without emptying a wallet too much?
OMV, Pi, NAS, .mkv, optical ? What kind of magic is this ? Black, I’ll wager.
we use DLNA players for music from our NAS. For some reason I couldn’t see the point in ripping DVDs
I have an old Xtreamer you can have. It plays anything and works well up to 1080p. It’ll play a samba share from your NAS, and I think it works with DLNA. It has optical out only though, so you’d need a converter.
You could also get a Chromecast, which works with DLNA if you use Plex as a server. Similar position on optical out though.
Fire TV stick into an audio extractor is what I use with an iPod dock when I go on holiday. Laptop has Plex server on it so I can use it for music/TV/films.
I thought this was an English speaking forum?
