I need help with something that just works. Each one of these software has bugs that makes the viewing experience suck.
My Setup
I7
16 gigs of ram
GTX 770
512gb SSD
4gb HDD
My PC is connected to the television (Samsung HU8550) by powerline adaptors.
Plex
Does not pick up all of my movies. I heard of the renaming bug but it doesn't seem to work when I changed the title of Captian Amercia Winter Solider to the one listed on IMBD.
Serviio
Picks up all of my movies but some of them will buffer during random scenes. The buffering can be pretty bad as it can happen many times during certain movies.
XBMC
This is the only one is better than the first two but there is some buffering. I've only tried it out for a few days, so I can't say how bad the buffering is with this one but it's there.
What are my alternatives?
Basically, what I am trying to do is play movies from my room to the living room television. Is it possible to setup a HTPC directly connected to my television and put that HTPC on my network to get movies from my room to the living room? What would the easiest way to go about doing this?
