• Old mini mac as a media server?

  I have a MacMini 2.1 Intel Core 2 Duo, 1.83Ghx, 2 GB RAM Mac Mini that has only a DVI video port.  Currently, the mini does nothing and I would like to unload my primary iMac iTunes account and share the mini for different computers in the House and the current 1 (soon add another) Apple TV.  99% of my media is in iTunes.  I have a 2 GB external spare hard drive I can use on the MacMini for storage.

  A colleague suggested I use the mini as a server multimedia and mentioned 3 applications/tools - Synology Nas free and Plex.  I would like to hear suggestions on how best to continue this Mac Mini as a media server using an external drive.  Is the fastest way to transfer just my iTunes library current of my primary iMac on the external drive on the MacMini?  Currently, my main iMac is where I manage my iTunes account, synchronize devices, purchase new media, etc.  I'm afraid that if I have the unloading to the Mini, how can I manage my current workflow?

  Plex would be a good option

  Synology is a brand of SIN do not know if their flavor of linux might work on a mac mini

  I have one and use it with plex too

  also have plex on my iPad, iPhone, OS X, windows 10

• Use Windows 7 as a media server

  Last year, I bought a Panasonic Viera Smart TV TXL32E5B. This year, I bought a laptop Win7 Pro to replace my laptop Windows XP Pro. The TV instructions, in the DLNA section, said that Windows 7 and TwonkyMedia Server 6 can be used as a media server for the TV. Can you give me some advice on how to do this? I have a large collection of photos on my Win7 laptop and access to some stream mp3 via Thunderbird, that I'd like to introduce on/via the TV. The sound of the television can be routed to a surround system.

  I already use Smart TV Apps for BBC Sport, news, etc., and the TV is wired by TP-Link homeplugs to my wireless router. I want to route media wireless to the router and go to the TV via the material of TP-Link.

• Set up the time capsule airport as a media server

  I would like to know the procedure step by step to set up my Airport time capsule as my media server to watch movies, listen to music. No help here please? Thanks in advance.

  Step by step is simple, because they do not exist. This is because you cannot use Time Capsule as a media server because it does not provide this type of service. At best, you can use your TC for storage media. Then you still have a media server to access these files for distribution. This media server could be iTunes, Plex, or in infusion for example.

• WRT400N and HP Media Server

  I just replaced my old Linksys with the 400N. No problem connecting to my desk and access to a network printer, then HP Media Server file sharing. However, while I can get my HP laptop wireless connected to the network and to the internet, can I do to access the file share on the media server. I can, however, use iexplorer to access the media server admin screens. The 400N blocks a few try network traffic?

  THX

  Most likely, it is a problem of computer software firewall.  When you replaced your router, your firewall software computer noticed "joins a new network" and so automatically itself for any another computer on the network is "trust".  Signals emitted by other computers are so blocked by software firewall computer.

  To resolve this issue, go to the computer on each computer software firewall and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.
  If your firewall or PC security program maintains a list of approved applications (also known as a "zone of confidence"), so make sure that your router is in the zone of confidence to your firewall...

• external hard drive model WD WD5000H1CS-00 (USED AS MAC)

  OK problem is windows doesn't recognize is not the reader, was used as mac, to retrieve media Drive to copy to another drive, is there a driver or an app that can make this possible, so I can convert windows files, so I can reformat the hard disk without losing the music to the player everything very difficult to get live recorded any music on its Board of Directors

  Hello.

  You can try to transfer files with Linux Live CD. Do it just to create a live Linux USB and start the computer by using it by going into the BIOS and change the order of boot on CD/USB. Once it loads, you can try and mount the drive (or if Linux can read, it mounts in itself) and see if you can transfer the files from the outside.

  Other than that, you can also take a look at this Microsoft's KB article and try the methods described here as well:

  I hope this helps.

  See you soon! :)

  There is some information about technet, for example:
   
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee126148
   
  Depending on where you're going with this, you will find probably more people
  able to discuss in the technet promedia and networking forums.

  What devices can be used for an Extender?

  Basically, the only device that you can use as an Extender is a Xbox 360 console. You cannot use another computer. All third-party Extenders are abandoned. Media Center started as Windows 10. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/set-up-a-Windows-Media-Center-Extender has information about the Setup program.

• Using Actionscript 2.0 classes in Flash Media Server

  Hello
  
  I am using the new Flash Media Interactive Server 3.
  I have written quite a few classes to make a game in a nice object-oriented medium. Each of them in the style of the Actionscript 2.
  
  Now, when I'm in my "main.asc" (the file actually executed by FMS. I can't find a way to import these classes.
  When you use:
  Import the package. Class;
  The server cannot resolve the name of the package.
  When you use:
  Load("dir/file.asc");
  The server does not allow me to use the keyword "class".
  
  Does anyone have experience in this field? And it is even possible to use this kind of classes (that work well when they are used in a SWF client side)
  
  Thank you!

  Hello :)

  FMS does not use AS1 but Javascript 1.5 Customize Adobe :) SSAS (Server
  Side ActionScript) isn't AS1 ;)

  But in SSAS, we can create the class of OBJECT-oriented programming and use implementations as AS2 or
  AS3 with class, design patterns, etc...

  Example in my opensource framework VEGAS based AS3/AS2/SSAS and it
  Implementation of SSAS:

  http://code.Google.com/p/Vegas/

  You can find all categories of this framework:
  http://svn1.CVSDude.com/OSFlash/Vegas/SSAS/trunk/src/

  For example... you can use the events as AS3 with EventListener model,
  EventDispatcher etc...

  http://code.Google.com/p/Vegas/wiki/VegasTutorialsEvents (all AS2
  example on this page works in SSAS with my framework)

  Classmapping we can create application N-tier base W3C events
  model...

  The SSAS for now use JS1.5... I hope that in the next version of FMS
  language JS2 or CC4 ;)

  EKA + :)

• BlackBerry Smartphones Can that I access the Lacie Media Server media?

  It is a question, I have asked for centuries, I keep all my music stored on my Edmini HDD network media Server is enabled. Is it possible to access files or server - the Player supports http and ftp, but I can't find a way to spot on the blackberry.

  Sorry to bug you guys... I'm new to Blackberry you could have together!

  in any case - problem solved, took a bit of work, but here's how it goes.

  Find the address IP of BB using 'whatsmyip.org' - set my router to allow access to this address in the network. Configuration of the virtual server on router point to the NAS Lacie Edmini (internal IP). Now search for IP home address using whatsmyip and put this IP address in the url bar of BB - BINGO!, enter the identifiers to Lacie admin or http server and all my stuff stored network can be obtained to wherever I am - without the need to have a PC or MAC server.
