Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
The only thing that worries me is if the SSD fails after the warranty expires. Apparently, they won’t replace it and will force you to buy another device.
Considering the cheapest models don’t have much storage, there will be a lot of downloading and deleting, meaning much higher drive usage.

I'm sorry, I thought you all were chatting about https://www.kaleidescape.com/ (which does state that). Which product are you all talking about?

Newer movies are quite expensive but the older ones are not that bad. This is in Canadian Dollar

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
They release like five movies per week, so eventually even a large 192TB server will run out of space. But it doesn’t really matter, you can delete and download as many times as you want.flojo wrote: ↑Wed Jun 04, 2025 3:26 pmI'm sorry, I thought you all were chatting about https://www.kaleidescape.com/ (which does state that).

I never had this problem but I dont use composite or any addon anymore. The ugoos works 10times better with an SMB share: movies start playing faster and never crash.

You're looking at the storage capacity of the device, not individual movie sizeflojo wrote: ↑Wed Jun 04, 2025 3:26 pmI'm sorry, I thought you all were chatting about https://www.kaleidescape.com/ (which does state that). Which product are you all talking about?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I think he was just commenting on the fact they won't be able to fit entire 4K catalogue on 192TB, which is fair, as they keep adding movies and have 3 different encodes for many, not sure how old that piece of marketing adcopy is. I am curious what the cut-off is for that tier though, but they probably just ask you if you want HDR, DV or SDR and if you're happy with the pre-selected list of titles or if you want certain movies to be included/excluded, lol. Maybe they will increase the size every year of the TB capacity? That's for the super rich folks anyway and/or those who have trash internet? haha.

Ah ok, that kind of makes sense. Wasn't sure what he was talking about.skull88 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 04, 2025 5:30 pmI think he was just commenting on the fact they won't be able to fit entire 4K catalogue on 192TB, which is fair, as they keep adding movies and have 3 different encodes for many, not sure how old that piece of marketing adcopy is.

I just added around 300TB to my storage array and that wasn't cheap, so I can't imagine what two of those Terra servers cost + every single movie in their catalog, sheesh.
Edit: Looks like the full system will set you back $90,000 USD

You can access any drive or folder that is shared on your PC.
