thecodeman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The entry level Alto is now $2500, but its really hard to beat the convenience, simplicity, and interface.http://www.kaleidescape.com/products/alto/ But you said CD and DVD in the post so... the Alto doesn't do CDs but the premiere line does. CDs are a different discussion really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Do you know how much this system can cost ? There are different models at different prices. Houselogix has MSRP listed under each. https://www.houselogix.com/shop/helix We wrote the driver for Helix. If you talk to them about it they can supply you with the driver (http://helixmediasystems.com/control_systems.php). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably do something yourself using mymovies to rip to your existing NAS driver and upgrade from your entry level Control4 media player to something a bit nicer. Our Kodi Lite driver is by far the most popular media player driver being sold at the moment. You could look at using an android box to play back the content.

thecodeman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The KODI system by far is the most flexible, but also not entirely "turn key" you know. Helix looks promising but is new to the scene and I have a lot of heartburn from Niveus (who used to sell media systems, then quit selling hardware to focus on software, and now have disappeared off the face of the earth and have a domain name parked by HostGator).

Using my Kodi LITE driver you can automate all of this. Select a movie on your Control4 system (via touschreen, mobile device, tablet, etc)PC turns on via Wake On Lan Projector turns on Curtains open lights dim etc PC starts up into Kodi (you need to set this up via startup in windows or scripting on other systems) Driver sends the command for Kodi to play the movie you've selectedPress the room off button on your remotePC turns off via XBMC's shutdown command Projector turns of Curtains close lights ramp up etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
