I have an iMac that is running two media servers (Twonky and Plex) I use Plex for my iDevices, and Twonky for my google tv. I run mkv video to my google tv because of the quality (6-8 gb files), then Plex runs an app on my iDevice so I can watch mkv files on my iDevice. Twonky gets choppy every 20-30 min. Plex doesn't, but it lowers the quality of the mkv to play on an iDevice, but also for my google tv. So that is why I have two.

My iMac has a 2tb external hard drive that runs time machine. So it's format is Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)(not worried to much right now about losing time machine) but it shows in finder and I can change my video files, and move them around from finder. All my videos are on it already. It is user friendly.I went to Best Buy and this guy told me about pogoplug pro. I got it home, plug it all in. Time machine was gone from finder, I read forums and understand it is not compatible. But I lost being able to moves those files in finder. I set up the pogoplug on safari (since firefox v4 doesn’t work). It sees the hdd but it won’t let me show it the media that is on the hdd. I try and upload the media and all it shows is my iMac hdd. I gave up.

I want to cloud my media so I can be anywhere and get media on my iDevices. I don’t care is I lose a little quality online but not at home. I see that this POS won’t do that, transcode … BS BS. I have a hard enough time converting and all that other stuff. I want the quality of Twonky at home on google tv. But also want to be able to watch it on my iDevice without converting the mkv like Plex. I know you can port forward a router and make a cloud, but I tried that with no success. So pogoplug sounded nice but it is not liking my hdd or something. I’m so tired of trying to mess with it. Then I saw this and thought maybe it might work for me, so I want someone that knows what this is tell me what I maybe doing wrong or WFT IDK.

THANKS

Sorry if it doesn’t read well its late.
