I am new to posting here but have been reading quite a bit lately (have gotten a LOT of excellent tips on how to setup my new apartment).
Basically what I am looking to do is the following:
I have an A/V closet in the BR that is hardwired via ethernet to my den. I would like to place a NAS in my AV closet which will serve up music for my Sonos system / iTunes computers, be general network storage, and I would like to set something up for it to hold DVDs. I have been looking at possibly an XBMC setup in the den that would not store anything locally but get the DVDs off of the NAS drive. While this is one possibility, it doesn't seem like the prettiest / easiest solution out there. My fiance does not like equipment to be around really anywhere, and another Xbox would not make her too happy (granted it would be inside of the entertainment center, but still... I'm sure you all understand).
As I said I already have a Sonos system so the only thing I am looking to do is serve DVDs from the NAS drive. Any suggestions? Thanks a ton in advance!
