I'm fairly new to the subject of media centers and have a few questions regarding what I can or cannot do. What I would like to do is to store my collection of Blu ray discs and DVDs on a server and then be able to watch these videos from a couple of TVs.
So my first question is this possible or better yet feasible/reasonable? I'm pretty sure it can be done but wondering if it's reasonable to do.
The bigger question is what hardware should I get or do I need, especially at the displays. I want to base the system on Macs. Can I just place a Mac at each display and pull from a Time Capsule or other hard drive storage. Then use a Mac mini at the displays using xbmc? Or better yet can I just have one computer as a server and client that distributes the video via the network to the different displays?
Thanks,
Jeff
