HP Media Server or MacMini for home media server

I am torn between the new HP media server with Windows Home server or a MacMini for my home server.
Can anyone provide insight on which would be better?
I am looking to store all my media, data on either one. I.E. Pictures, Music/Video - to stream to AppleTV etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I know you have already marked the question as solved, but if you are still torn between the HP or Mac Mini here is what I did.
Although the HP has more storage space, I went for the Mac Mini option because; the foot print is smaller if you want to put under a TV, it uses less electricity and I felt Mac OSX was a more stable platform to work with.
The Mac Mini use a 2.5" Sata drive, so you are limited in upgrading past 320GB. There is a 2.5" 500GB drive out however I don't know if it will fit as when I read about it six months ago the article said it is slightly thicker, but I could be wrong.
To get around the problem of storage space, I attached a 1TB SATA hard drive via Firewire, which cost about £120. Although there are cheaper 1TB hard drives around, I went for one with an Oxford Chipset as it is always going to be on and I didn't want it to fry out.
I connect to the Mac Mini remotely to manage it. It's dead easy to set up file sharing, and I ended up giving my brother and dad there own storage space that they can log into with a username and password. One uses XP and the other uses Leopard.
The other great thing is you can configure iTunes and system preferences to automatically rip a CD or DVD and add it to the library then eject automatically when it is done. This may be obvious but it is incredibly useful feature, as it saves having to rip it on your personal computer then transferring the files.
The streaming capability of the Intel Core Duo is really good, so far we have been able to get it to stream to the AppleTV, 2 MacBooks and 1 Sony Vaio, while converting an avi movie to MP4 through Visual Hub, it might be able to handle more iTunes streaming we just ran out of computers to test it with.
Hope this helps in any decision making.

  • DRM support for Home media sharing (e.g.Chromecast)

    Hi,
    Hopefully a simple question. I know Flash DRM has support for HDCP and analog counterpart for policy management in order to restrict streaming on external screen. However, what about home media sharing such as Chromecast. Can I implement policies that will allow/prevent streaming for Chromecase for instance?
    Thanks,
    Alain

    Hi Alain,
    Chromecast will ONLY stream video to displays where it can detect that HDCP is engaged.  So in essence, it doesn't matter what Output Protection restriction is specified in the Adobe Access DRM Policy, the stream will only be played with Output Protection engaged.
    That was the "allow streaming" use case.
    Regarding the opposite use case, "don't allow streaming to chromecast", Adobe Access DRM currently does not have any mechanism to detect and disable streaming to a Chromecast device.
    cheers,
    /Eric.

  • Upgrade to Server 10.8 for Mac Mini Server running Server 10.7.5?

    Hi—I am seeing references to OS X Server 10.8 yet my Mac Mini Server (mid-2011, machine identifier "Macmini5,3") is holding firm with OS X Server version 10.7.5.
    There are no pending updates for this machine either through OS X (software updates) or through the App Store.
    Will this machine eventually go to 10.8 through routine updates, or is this something I have to buy?
    Searching the App Store for "OS X Server" returns the Server utilities. One of the main headings under it is "What's new in Version 2.2.1".
    Should I sit tight, or jump into the forced upgrade fray?
    Thanks for any thoughts!  —michael

    Thanks John.
    Are you saying that to move to the next "level" (10.8.n) that indeed the "Server.app" is what I need to do?
    Seems awfully dicey. Why isn't Apple pushing me something called "OS X Server 10.8 Upgrade"?
    I have to first "buy and upgrade to Mountain Lion i.e. 10.8"? 
    "The upgrade from 10.7.5 to 10.8 is not free". 
    Money is not an object here. Again, the PATH TO UPGRADE isn't being provided through any internal systems (a.k.a. Finder/../Software Update).
    This is a huge mis-step for Apple.
    Sure "Mavericks" is soon due. And I'll bet that the path to (seamlessly) move from 10.7.5 is even more obscure.

  • Lion and lion server add on for Mac Mini Server

    I bought the Lion OS and Lion Server add on for my Mac Mini Server which runs Snow Leopard Server. When trying to install the Lion,
    it requests the Add on to be available, however the add on requests the Lion to be already installed before it can be downlaoded through
    App store. I made my purchases over the phone as neither was available in stores anymore. Egg and chiken dilema.
    I do not have a physical DVD with the Snow Leopard (Client) to follow some of the instructions I have read in the communities. Any
    workaround?

    For the Mini you must have Lion client installed to purchase the Server. You can download Lion from the Mini while it's running Snow Leopard. Once Lion is installed you should then be able to purchase the Server.
    Unlike past OS X Server releases the bulk of the software is within the Lion client. The Server is more or less a type of add-on to provide all the Server utilities and support. It's a relatively small download compared to the client.

  • Firewire or USB for Home Media Server

    I have an iMac (2008) that I am going to use as an iTunes server for streaming to AppleTV. Since the iMac only has a 320GB drive, I am planning on buying a new external hard drive to which I will transfer all of my media, which I will always leave connected to the iMac (I will just point the iMac's library to the media on the drive).
    My question is whether I should consider FireWire 800 or USB 2.0 as the external drive. I know most macs these days no longer come with FireWire, and in the case that I end up getting a new computer in the next year or two, I'd rather have a drive that utilizes USB 3.0 and have that faster option in the future.
    That being said, if the stream quality to the AppleTV is going to be so poor that I hate it (using the USB 2.0), then I would consider a FireWire 800. Does anybody have any experience with this?
    Also, it should be noted that all of my devices will be wired to the local home network (not wireless).
    Thanks for the advice.

    Personally, I don't think it matters. FireWire 800 is capable of almost 800 Mb per second and while USB 2 is theoretically capable of 480 Mb per second it only has an effective throughput of 280 Mb per second. If you have other uses for this drive, the difference between FireWire and USB may well be worth considering, however if you are just going to use it for movies to play to your Mac/Apple TV, you should remember that these movies will need no more than 10 Mb per second in order to play without issue.

  • Cant find right media player on Mac for Windows Media Mpeg-4 files

    o Must transfer WMP mpeg 4 files via bluetooth to mac
    o Have tried DivX converter = "unknown error (-2041)
    DivX player = nothing, just blinking pause button
    Flip 4mac (WMV) = won't read (won't even make itself available as option for file)
    VLC = picture but no sound (yay)
    Windows Media Player = won't read (won't even make itself available as option for file)
    Quick time = "invalid sample description found in movie"
    MPlayer 0SX2 = picture but no sound (yay, and yes volume is turned up on all devices)
    It's only a few files stuck on broken Sprint PPC 6700 which I am exchanging for new one but want to preserve a few short home movies. Can't hook up w/ windows pc because that's the part that's broken (cable jack) and must use blue tooth, my windows pc has no blue tooth. Files transfer and play but at best it's just video and no audio.
    Am off to store for blank cd to see if I can burn files to disc on mac and a memory card (for phone) for temp back up. But don't know if that will solve problem, just band-aids.
    thx

    Hi Tanner,
    My guess is that 10.4 does not recognize the .sitx format that previously worked on my 10.3
    Mac OS X 10.4 no longers comes with StuffIt Expander. You'll need to install that to be able to use .sitx files.

  • N78 Home Media Server

    Hi everyone, i recently purchased an N78 and have installed the Home Media Server software. since the N78 has WiFI and is a UPnP device, i was wondering if i could stream music from the phone to my computer and vice-versa? how do you do this, cos i can't seem to figure out the help in the program. (note also that i do not have a WiFI router, i just have the laptop that can tap into Wifi networks)

    I believe that you do need a wireless router for it to be able to work.
    See the link below to a thread from yesterday, it contains some useful links to the home media user guide and the home media server that you need.

  • N79; can't run " home media " menu

    I'm in Thailand . I just buy N79 , but I have found my phone can run " home media " menu. When I go to " home media " menu it's push back to "connectivity" menu .
    When I go to Nokia Care center . They said All N79 was bug as this. Wait to upgrade firmware as now it's already new as 10.046
    Please share information with me

    sawatdee krap,
    maybe because you havent set any connections for "home media". i think it needs to connect with your computer. you also need to install SimpleCenter's Home Media Server software on your PC
    maybe this will help you -

    Service market place has given the driver as "JDBC Driver for MS SQL Server (Version 3.70.10)", is there a way to find out if it is for 2000 or 2005?
    Thanks for your reply.

  • Best place for an app server?

    Hi all,
    A rather generic question.
    If you had only two server machines, one for your
    database server and one for your web server.
    Where would you place your app server?
    In the same machine as the web server or in the same machine as the database server?
    What factors would influence your decision?
    Thanks for any answers

    Hi sagar,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to learn about SharePoint hosted app and provider hosted app.
    SharePoint-hosted apps, or apps where all components are hosted on either an on-premises or Office 365 SharePoint farm. SharePoint-hosted apps are installed on a SharePoint 2013 website, called the host web. They have their resources hosted on an isolated
    subsite of a host web, called the app web. The SharePoint-hosted app can only be developed with JavaScript Client Object Mode and HTML.
    Provider-hosted apps for SharePoint include components that are deployed and hosted outside the SharePoint farm. They are installed to the host web, but their remote components are hosted on another server.SharePoint Provider hosted app can be developed
    with .NET Managed Client Object Model.
    Here is a detailed article for your reference:
    Choose patterns for developing and hosting your app for SharePoint
    Here are some detailed code demo for your reference:

  • Server CAL License for SAP Server

    Hi
    Do we need Windows Server CAL for SAP Server, as we have Server 2008 R2 for our SAP Server.
    Please guide.
    Regards
    Ajay Goel

    Hi Wee,
    By definition every device connecting to a Windows server needs a CAL. However, neither the OS nor the SAP system "counts" them.
    Depending on which kind of clients you have (Windows XP/Vista OEM, Volume licenses etc.) you have a CAL included.
    So based on SAP users created and other users required in your landscape , you may procure respective CALS.
    Hope this helps.

  • OSX LION SERVER on Mac Mini for a home media server?

    Would a Mac Mini with Mac OS X Lion Server be a good alternative for a home multi media movie server?
    Has anyone done this?
    If so please give advice or success stories vs. HP Home Media Smart Server (i added a link to the HP server)
    http://www.hp.com/canada/products/landing/mediasmart/ex.html
    I would really rather use a Mac product but not sure what Apple offers and  if it will do the same or better than the HP Media Smart Server.
    Again, any advice would be great.
    Cheers,

    It would make a great server. Bonus over Apple TV for example is that you have access via both wired ethernet and wireless. Plus if you load tools from XBMC, Firecore and others you have a significant media server. Cost is right too.
    Many people are doing this - google mac mini media server or other for more info.
    Total downside to any windows based system - dealing with constant anti-virus, major security hassels, lack of true media integration and PITA to update, etc.
    You should be aware that Lion Server is not ready for prime time - it stil has significant issues if you are migrating from SNL 10.6.8. If you buy an apple fresh Lion Server mac mini you should have no problems.
    You'll probably be pleased.
