Hey, hope there is a friendly expert who will help me a little on the way .... -)
I have an idea to buy me a Mac mini server. It must be used as a server for the house IOS devices, Macs and PCs.
It must also be used as a media player with XBMC installed in Windows 7, since it is only possible to play DTS-HD in Windows (in XBMC) and it is a must that it can play HD audio from external Bluray rips.
I'll connect some external hdd with all my media, photos, home movies, bluray rips and so on to the Mac mini.
But this is where I need some advice for:
Can I play my media (when they "lie on my Mac mini server")from the same mac mini in XBMC in Windows7 through vm ware fusion??
Know it would've been easier just to install XBMC in OSX, but OSX does not provide HD audio when watching movies, as far as I know /
Hope for some good advices
Kindly
Jan
