famulor 1 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi guys. Im very interested in the idea of having my content (1.6 TB) in the cloud and let mediabrowser handle it (with metadata and even the transcoding if possible.) in order for me to stream it (to XBMC and mediabrowser "app") when im at my parents or inlaws place or something. Is it possible? If yes where can i go to get a service thats big enough without problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2492 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 the main problem is getting your media up to the cloud, although at 1.6Tb it may be possible for you http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/12026-onedrive-unlimited-cloud-storage-announced/page-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famulor 1 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) But wouldnt i get ALOT of buffering trying to transcode a 1080p movie via onedrive/mediabrowser? I mean it takes some CPU/ram power Another problem seems to be that onedrive only allow files upto 10gb pr file to be uploaded and im pretty sure i have some movies that are over the 10gb mark :/ Edit: i know that for about 10-15 GBP a month ($16-24) i can get a 2tb plex media server in the cloud but tbh im not that interested in plex media server (tried it and for me i had alot of errors so went away from it again) and i think its quite expensive tbh for 2TB Edited January 7, 2015 by famulor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could use our system to basically create your own cloud. The combination of MB Server on your server and MB Connect, gives you what you are trying to achieve - access to your content from wherever you are.

I really would like not to count on my own internet/hardware and just have my NAS as a backup (and as far as i know it cant transcode a 1080p movie.. synology DS213+) i know zxhost offers (as i mentioned in the post before) a plex media server that can transcode 1080p movies but as i said i think $24 for 2TB is semi expensive.

Spaceboy 2492 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah I'm using the cloud as backup, not primary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famulor 1 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 And i wanna do it the other way around but it kinda sounds impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macburp 109 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Get yourself a dedicated server, install MBS on it and upload your content. Voila, you have a cloud server. Have a look at www.kimsufi.co.uk, I'm sure there are many other options. I recall reading a post on here where someone said he was running MBS and his content remotely. Worth a search?

hansnaru42 0 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Yes, You can place it on the cloud. Edited January 29, 2015 by hansnaru42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherita59 0 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 you can backup your content in cloud backup software. I have been using CloudBacko Lite software from long time and quite satisfied with it. You can try this software for backup. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2492 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Does that help avoid the 10gb file rule on oneDrive? It's not clear from the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
