Mrhyderabad:edo ghareebi level ki work ayye option cheppandi
Epson 3010 ($1500) + denon 2112 ($600) + PS3 ($250) + Boxee ($180) + plus cable and sundry. Ippdu cheppu. Under $500 PC affordable or not. On a serious note. Boxee box is not great for local streaming. Do you know that Denon receiver you have, has ethernet port? Connect it to router and you can stream music from any PC, iTunes, iPhone, internet stations etc. You don't need to power on TV/Proj., can control directly from receiver. |

Maverick:.monna edo cheppav ga internal ga wiring cheyincha loft lo ani
adi just aa room HT setup ki bro. You are looking to wire entire home for multi-room, multi-zone kind of AV setup + ethernet wiring etc, right? Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein |

Mrhyderabad:Can we build a HTPC to do all this?
This is the most safest option which covers all the media types. You don't need to build any. Just buy any off-the-shelf PC with desktop style case (opposed to tower style). Make sure you have video card with HDMI-out. If you want, you can drop a TV-tuner card in empty PCIExpress slot. Under $500 you can decent machine (don't go crazy with processor/memory/storage) |

Simba:
yeah PS3 - Tverity transcoding tho too many issues. Edaina manchi idea ivvandi. Req - Should stream home media (audio,video,pics etc) effortlessly, BR playback, NetFlix etc. Can we build a HTPC to do all this? How much would that cost? Or Boxee konna but didn't open it yet. Unable to stream home media through Roku 2 XS. Don't say you don't have enough time.

Simba:I agree with navigation on PS3. It sucks big time. What I do is, on the NS I create a folder for each movie and put video file in there (instead of dumping everything in one folder). I have MyMovies plug-in running on the server. When I add a new video, it created metadata (xml file) and saves in that folder. This folder organization also works nice, when I watch movies on BD player (DLNA client) from other room.
they are not in one folder bro. I have them in different folders by video name. by folder navigate chesthe, PS3 no media files (exact message kaadhu). but in the list of video files available on server, it shows the file as one among the hundred media files. i will try mymovies plug in work out avuthadhemo choostha the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada |

It's a hit or miss with PS3. Not much we can do with format support. Only way I know if to convert the videos to compatible format. I agree with navigation on PS3. It sucks big time. What I do is, on the NS I create a folder for each movie and put video file in there (instead of dumping everything in one folder). I have MyMovies plug-in running on the server.

Simba bro, NS with DLNA support undhi from DLink. PS3 ninchi chaala worst ga undhi navigation, when i go folders, it does not show the media files in the folders, but it displays all the files, as available video files on another screen, and i can play these files from there. ilati experience emaina ayyindhi.. also PS3 file support extend cheyataniki options unnaayi.. i have a couple of old videos that in a different file format. avi play kavatledhu. should i plan to convert these file types or PS3 lo emaina extensions set seyochaa.... the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada |

Mrhyderabad:Also AV rack vunna room lo light On chesthe bandwidth ekkuva vasthundi. Light off chesthe sudden gaa taggutundi. Idi extender leni scenario.
It's voodoo spell, maaaan.  Mrhyderabad:Wireless extender okati basement lo av rack vunna closet lo petta. before extender speedtest chesthe 25 Mbps.. with extender 5 Mbps vasthundi. why ? in-compatible extender? just a bad piece?
I am not a fan of wireless extenders. They don't work as advertised. Do you have an ethernet cable running into basement from router. If so, set a wireless access point, instead. It is much more reliable than extender. |

Mrhyderabad:Which is better in your opinion?
Does not matter. Since PS3 can decode HD audio like TruHD, DTS-HD, DD+, even PCM can output the right signal. For these codec, you are supposed to listen in default mode on AVR. Any Surround Mode you apply on receiver defeats the purpose of master audio. If you are feeding stereo signal to AVR, you can try different audio modes to upscale to 7 channels from AVR. Personally, I just set the HDMI audio out on PS3 to Bitstream. Let the receiver decode everything. |

Simba:What are you playing on PS3? In PS3 General Settings -> Audio, under Optical Output set the format as bitstream. For HDMI Audio, you can either set bitstream or PCM. In case of PCM, PS3 decodes the signal.
Which is better in your opinion? I am mostly playing BR disks or Vudu / netflix movies. If i select PCM then AVR always show multi-in on the screen and i can only select surround sound as PL cinema II etc. I don't get DD or DTS or DD trueHD etc Mav, Naaku anta idea ledu. Simba best choice for such Qs. Nenu edo small size setup chesukunna.. no in-built wiring etc as ours is not SFR Don't say you don't have enough time.

Mrhyderabad:Is this bcoz of hdmi control ON feature in both devices? When i turn off the projector, avr also switches off.
Yes, it is called HDMI-CEC to control connected devices via HDMI.
Mrhyderabad:AVR madhyalo vundi and that is turned off
A/V passthrough via HDMI is the new feature in receivers. Mrhyderabad:I have set the PS3 audio output as bitstream and it works. AVR displays all the decoded signals. But next time if i turn ON avr first and then ps3... audio is coming as PCM. Is my AVR forcing PS3 to output in PCM format? Is that possible?
