And personally I wouldn't be happy with my server recording tv, playing movies, serving files AND protecting my data. The amount of electricity you use on a HTPC or on the server is minor at most. Honestly, besides the facelift, I see very little point on uprading to it. Granted I dont use remote access, if I wanted my media online I would go for different solutions, but maybe thats good for someone. That was my point.ī) Exactly, so my home automation (mControl), AV (Avast) and other plugins will not work and based on how fast EmbbededAutomation and Avast are developing/enhancing their WHS offerings, it migh take a good while to have them on Vail. Thats gone with Vail, since the new Drive Extender disks wont work outside vail as it seems.

Check if dupplication was OK, find the files manually on the subsystems and more than once I accessed the files from the disks on my Windows 7 machine during migrations/troubleshooting. None of the V1 add-ins will work on Vail.Ī) One of the great things of WHS for me is that I could manually work with the files.
Player? Nope, not something I want to do.Ī) I'm not sure what you mean by "no access to my files on other machines" (unless you're referring to RD only connecting to certain versions of MS OSes, and if so, the WHS team has no control over that).ī) There are no add-ins for Vail yet (the beta version of the SDA kit was only released today). With the addition of DLNA, the ability to "play to" devices would be included. Streaming the media to a playback device, sure. Media playback is not something I expect to do with a "server", to be honest. Very little that the WHS could be doing since its idle. I'am wasting that computer for very little.

I also save my recorded TV on WHS btw, what makes eve more insane for me to have a machine there (HTPC) just so I can use the xboxes as extenders. So now I have to have two machines (HTPC + WHS) running with very low CPU usage during most of the day and consuming electricity. The concept is not to have all those HTPCs running in order to serve xboxes or whatever extender you might like while theres another machine seeting idle most of the time (even with home automation, my WHS hardly goes over 25% of CPU, even during backups). If we accept that it could be a Blog Server, a Home Automation system, why notĪ Media Center that even more in line to its dutys (since even Microsoft keeps adding media features to it)? Since the addins are allowed, that opens a lot of different possibilities to the product. Another let down (as a MediaCenter user, I should be used to that comming from Microsoft).īut if WHS was solelly dedicated to being a server, the entire AddIn concept is flawed.
No MediaCenter on Vail, no access to my files on other machines, no plugins working. Thats what was requested so many times on foruns and connect.īut you might be right, MS might be in the DNLA bandwagon and maybe that also means MCE is doomed.
I have an extra MediaCenter machine running and consuming power because HomeServer doesnt have the media center functionality on it. I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. Don't be surprised, though, if it gets closed If you really feel strongly, you can submit a product suggestion on Connect. I could speculate, but I don't think there's really any point. I don't know why transcoding was removed Microsoft hasn't told me. Microsoft seems to have gone the way of DLNA (which, by the way, suggests that a future version of the Xbox could be DLNA compliant.). "Media Center through XBoxes" requires Media Center, because the Xbox is a Media Center Extender.
