Hi all

I am thinking about buying one of these devices but I wanted to get a little info first

Here is my current setup

Pinnacle Showcenter connected to pc over wireless
nslu2 nas device storing media

in this current set up I have to have the PC on all the time, as this runs the web server and the database for the media. I have played around with running swiss center directly off my nas device but this hasn't worked very well

so I have a few questions

1) it says in the documentation that a pc is needed, does this pc run the media databse or is this stored on the eva device? i.e do I have to have a pc always connected for Eva to work

2) can the eva run just by directly streaming from a nas device?

I am hoping I can just link the eva to my nas device and stream off there but I need this to be confirmed before i buy one

 Cheers all

Mike

From what I've read in the specs sheets, you should be able to run the EVA straight off your NAS. :-)

If its just for viewing your storage on your NAS then yes no need for the PC.  However if you want to watch youtube videos then you need your PC on...

I have my PC off and it pulls all the information for my movies via my NAS...  Image, Title, Director, Cast, etc...
