[QUOTE="jang, post: 748801, member: 51440"] Hello all. I want to ask your opinion in building a media server that streams videos, pictures and music to multiple rooms. I currently have a single pc setup. The pc downloads movies, pictures, and music. The pc has mediaportal installed. My video card outputs videos to secondary monitor (LCD TV) and I watch my videos from there. I want a setup that allows me to store all my videos, photos and music in a central location. Each room has their own frontend. I was wondering if: 1. the storage area can use either unraid or freenas? 2. the storage area has to have a very good video card? Should it have very powerful processor? 3. the storage area have to have special mediaportal version installed to be able to serve videos to htpc acting as frontend (also installed with mediaportal)? 4. can devices such as wd tv live also stream videos from the storage area sans mediaportal look and feel? I don't use TV-server btw. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
