HELP! Ripping DVDs to RN104 then stream to Amazon Fire TV?
I would like to copy my 300 or so DVDs to my RN104 then be able to watch them on my Amazon Fire TV, both are connected via 100Mbps Ethernet. I have a 104" screen and a Hi-Fi based 5 channel surrou...
Thanks again for your help guys!
I have heard good things about the WDTV but don't think it supports Amazon Prime or Netflix?
We have got through a few "TV boxes" so far; We started with Apple TV purely for Netflix then bought the Amazon Fire TV to play Netflix and Amazon Prime and with the hope we could stream stuff from our old RN Duo. We then sold the Apple TV when we found out we could connect to the Amazon Fire with Airplay which means we only have one box again.
I am wondering if a more robust solution would be to get a WDTV for our DVDs and the Fire for Amazon Prime and Netflix and go back to having two boxes.
We have a big pile of five amplifiers for the speakers so one extra box wont make a difference, it's more ease of use having everything via one app but I think we'd get used to it.
It's a shame there's no player out there that supports everything, that would be a miracle!
In summary if I bought a WDTV would all my problems go away?
We just sold the Apple TV for £50 which would almost cover the cost of a WD TV and I feel this may be the path of least resistance.
The other software based solutions looks a bit like they may be quite vulnerable, I have read quite a few stories on here of services getting updates and then not being able to play anything anymore. My biggest fear is to spend ages putting the movies on the RN104 then be unable to play them because somethings updated.
Thanks again for the advice!
