Supernatural

[nature boy]

yeah, and some days none. but to be honest, there have been a few that i watched while doing something else entirely, like folding laundry, ironing clothes, surfing the net, and even reading stuff for work haha.

That's how I used to watch TV shows where I need to catch up on several seasons. I just put it on my tablet and bring it around everywhere.

[nature boy]

i haven't put it on my tablet at all, i only have 16gb of space, and so it'd be a lot of transferring and deleting.

[Duncan]

yea, that's the annoying part about some tablets, no space for sd or micro sd... the nexus 10 doesn't have a slot either... i guess that's how they force you to pony up 100 bucks more for an extra 16gb of space... lame

Memory management guys!! A tablet or mobile device isn't meant to be your portable media repository. If that's how you're using it, then even 32gb or 64gb wouldn't be enough considering some of us have like 500GB, 1TB or 2TB drives (or a combination of) that are filled almost to max.

You put in what you're going to watch/listen to, and you delete it when you're done.

[Duncan]

i'm all for what you're suggesting, but the problem is, when you have kids, they have a few shows/movies they watch over and over again. So the tablet/phone is 60% their media/games, 30% mine, 10% system. I have probably 5 gigs worth of movies/shows/games on my phone that are all for hayden.

That's why i created my home streaming server so i can stream things for them and stop storing so many movies on my phone. I only keep the mainstays on my phone.

[nature boy]

yeah, i was thinking about putting a lot of media on a cloud of sorts, but then i just never bothered.
i don't like transferring and deleting all the time. it doesn't take too much, but i just don't get around to it anymore (i used to all the time though).

[Duncan]

but that's why i set up my home pc as a cloud of sorts... it's annoying having to upload onto cloud gigs of media only to delete it spend more time uploading more...

[nature boy]

what if you're out though? would it still work?

[Duncan]

i have my pc on during the day so i can stream when i'm out. I rdp home all the time while i'm at work too so i can do stuff on my home pc. I have my pc auto hibernate at 12:30am and auto wake at 8:30am every day. If i ever get around to figuring out why it's not working, i can also set up wake up on LAN for my pc so even if it's shut down, i can send a magic packet to it to turn it on remotely where ever i am

[nature boy]

can't you just remote double penetration (lol) all the time so you don't have to stream? or is that what you're talking about?

hm, i think i'll just do that, i can remote my desktop from my tablet, however, i'd need to make sure i'm on a wifi connection. it also means that i'll need to make sure my computer(s) are always on.

or, i can just watch at home and when i'm not at work.

[se7entse7en]

were you able to get wol working locally or are you having problems with that as well?

[nature boy]

what's wol?

Wake On Lan

[nature boy]

turning on is different from waking up though, right?
