Hi There can someone help me select some hardware please?
I have tried looking through the forums but am getting more and more confused.
I currently have a Synology DS112j NAS connected to my TV via Network cable - DLNA.
Im really only interested in viewing the films I have stored on my box, many of which are blu-rays i have transferred from disc in various formats.
Currently via the Tv interface, which is akin to looking at a spreadsheet, all the films playback fine.
What I would like is a snazzy looking interface such as XMBC to select the films from.
I see its possible to get XMBC running on a stick, streaming the NAS content via wi-fi?
such as: http://www.cloudsto.com/android-mini-pc-...etail.html
is this the right kind of device for the job or am i going down the wrong path here?
Can anyone help me?
