I'm Looking at Slysoft's AnyDVD HD since it will let him use whatever player he wants, anyone with experience with that software? He also has a 3D TV and wants to be able to watch 3D if that makes a difference to anyone.

I really want to thank everyone so far for the feedback, this is helping me at least prepare him to set up his PC the way he see's fit and I think he will be very happy with the results.

I will install both and try to decide, if I can't I will leave them both on to let him decide. Thanks for the recommendations on HTPC playback.

The PC is built and ready to ship I just want to get him all lined up with the right software to enjoy his PC to the fullest before I finish boxing it up.
He also wanted latest and greatest so there you go for the Skylake decision, he and I both agreed the i7 is simply overkill and unnecessary. The PC is primarily being used for his home theater but he wants to play any game on it too at 1080 and his budget allowed so he got a "gaming" PC to use for his media. I want him to be able to legally play his Blu-Rays and when he wants to, be able to to rip them and save them on his 1TB Drive.
I do not want to setup this PC for any sort of illegal use whatsoever, I am selling this PC so that is absolutely out of the question. Of course nothing is stopping you from having both programs running at the same time. Personally I think XBMC is better unless you really want to broadcast your library outside of your home network in which case Plex wins. XBMC and Plex are basically it for HTPC library management programs. That i5 is basically where you want to start, the i7 will do it faster but for HTPC usage it would be over kill.

Ripping discs doesn't require much but converting them into mp4 or mkv files does take work. Of course be careful of scams and other BS. They catalog lots of video and audio programs and the ones you're looking for are there. I'm unsure if I'm allowed to tell you the names of programs that will allow you to break the encryption on blu-rays here but they do exist. I appreciate the input on Kodi and Plex and I can ask him if he'd like to watch his media from anywhere else in the house or outside of the home If he wants the option to stream his library from elsewhere I'm pretty sold on Plex, because I've had it recommended to me many times before. He will be gaming as well, but his main focus is his media. Thanks man, I am aware that this is pretty overkill for a stricly media machine. But any other HTPC general questions, I may be able to help. Best of both worlds.Īs for ripping blurays, I don't know about that. That said, I run a plex server for my media, but run Kodi as my frontend. It does what it does very good though, it's extremely customizable, has a ton of awesome addons, lots of support forums, skins, etc. It doesn't transcode or allow easy access to media from away from home.

You want to watch a ripped movie on your tablet from a hotel room, Plex does "transcoding" so it can convert any media in its library, in real time, to another format that a different device can read, since not all devices can read all format, it can find out what format any device can read and convert it to that format. It hosts your files, and can play them, but it really shines if you want all your media accessible from other devices. Plex can cost if you want more feature but the free does a lot too. Otherwise, the built-in Intel graphics are more than enough to handle bluray discs or playback with room to spare, especially with a skylake. The only reason to need a video card is if you need HDMI 2.0 for 4K, since the 960 is one of the only cards with that feature right now. I haven't quite found the answer I was looking for, so I posted here. It's worth mentioning I read all of the suggested threads before I posted this. Are there any other suggestions for good media suite programs? They don't need to be free, but being economical is good. I'd also like to try a few different programs for playback such as XBMC or PLEX to be manage libraries and playback. DVD and Music playback and ripping is pretty straight forward compared to Blu-Rays, so I imagine once the Blu Ray issues are resolved so will the DVD and CD issues. It needs to be able to play all Blu rays without having to rip them to the HDD first, but also being able to rip favorites when desired. The goal of this machine is to manage a home theater system.
I5-6600K & 16GB DDR4 on a Gigabyte Z170X-UD3Ģ50GB Crucial BX100 SSD & 1TB WD Blue HDD I am currently setting up a media machine for the living room, here are the specs: Hey everyone, thanks for stopping in to help.
