Community Installer Popcorn Hour
When is the popcorn hour plex app going to support the extras feature? I just bought a popcorn hour a-400 thinking the plex app would be perfect as i have locally stored trailers for all my movies on my HTPC FlexRAID with 15 TB of movies. I have many movie nights with family and friends and sometimes people don't know what a movie is about or never heard of them. I have trailers locally stored for all my movies and have confirmed the trailers are available via the web interface and the macbook OS theater app but will not work on the popcorn hour. Will this be added soon? This is really the main reason why i bought a popcorn hour player.
Not to be a., but as a former A300 owner, I wanted to suggest you all consider replacing it with a used HTPC or build your own. I did and I've gone from driving my wife and I crazy with bugs and crashes and files that just won't play, to actually being able to relax and enjoy my home theater. My labor in just making things work was diminished by 80-90%. Best thing I ever did.

I built an awesome HTPC for about $600, or 2 to 3 times the cost of a popcorn hour. But my free time is valuable, so getting that back was totally worth it. ^^ There is two sides to that statement. If I spend the time upfront at making my media all the same the PCH never has a problem nor any player for that matter. A lot of people fight with stand alone players because they download a lot of there content and have zero control on how it is made where most of the problems come from. HTPC still have a long way to go though. Frame syncing, HD audio, true 23.976 can still be a pain to achieve but some of that is not important to most people.
The asus chromebox and nuc are good options for HTPC they do both handle 23.976 and HD audio. Then 3D adds another player as only windows will play 3d. For me stand alones are still the best solution. And the cost for replacing 4 stand alones to an HTPC is not worth it yet. I might be inclined to agree with you if the Popcorn Hour wasn't so problematic, and the desire to use Plex didn't add another degree of frustration.
I mean, with the A300 and others, you've got random crashes and problems, regardless. Hell, mine would crash 50% of the time if I used the screensaver feature. And the 300 generation chips had issues that the chipmaker was uninterested in releasing firmware for the relatively small market of popcorn hour boxes.

And the picture and sound quality on my i5 Haswell and ASUS motherboard are way better than what I could get out of the A300. And the speed of operation, e.g. Menus and load times, is a joy.
And I do watch a lot of video from a wide variety of sources, especially unlicensed Japanese anime, which is often encoded in 10-bit AKA Hi10P, which the PCH is incapable of playing. I would rather have a machine that just plays it, rather than encoding everything I intend to watch. But the math of cost difference between your 4 units vs my 1 is a lot!
I could see why you won't be dropping $2500 to replace $1K of popcorn hours. Although It's easy to use Plex to watch on a variety of devices, either on a smart TV or other more plex-friendly box attached to the TV.
I actually do have multiple screens myself, just not popcorn hours to play on them. But your points are good. I just wanted to report to anyone who was interested that I'm thrilled to leave Popcorn hour and will never look back, and would recommend it. I actually have a chromebox i use with openelec as an htpc for testing and such. But what saved me was with the popbox v8 came out. Its was 99$ and had all the same qualities as the more expensive PCH models. So 3 bedroom units only ran me 300$ My main player is an A400 so I spent a little more on it.
Also have a mede8er 600x that I use as backup. I to am an anime watcher and the whole 10bit thing as put me off downloading most of my anime now.
I read more manga, And use streaming services like crunchyroll, and some of the anime plugins for plex. First it was OGM now its 10bit x264. That would be fine if it passed lossless Audio but they don't so i think we are left with Home Theater PC options, so are there any Home Theater PC options that are best?

Something with a small footprint and smooth playback A few of them pass lossless Audio. The chameleon most likely will get updated to support it.

The vidon box has HD passthrough and rumor has it the 1195 relatek chipset is getting an update to sllow bitstream as well. These are all small footprint. If you are looking for and HTPC option. The asus chromebox or an intel nuc are the nicest out.
