      What are you using for the streaming?

      I installed Estrong's on each fire and VLC and another media player. Then I just have a Samba share that I open with Estrong's. I also have Apache running if you want to stream over HTTP.

      Cool, haven't used that. Anything on there that would work to an iPad? Not a huge deal, we only have iPads sometimes, Fires all the time.

      That's why I did HTTP also. I haven't found an app with iOS that I can get to a network share with (that doesn't cost a lot).

        How does HTTP work, just opening the video in a web browser?

          Ya. I just have it do a file list, and then you edit .htaccess to stream instead of download by default.

              Doing some Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 installs. All kinds of excitement.

                After a year of using Windows 10, having to do work with Windows 8.1 feels downright silly. That thing is one cheesy, looks like it was made for little kids system. That does not hold up at all as a serious looking desktop, lol.

                  I use 8.1 as my main work station at work. I did upgrade to 10 early on but there were some bugs that annoyed the crap out of me, so I rolled back.

                  I have been thinking about upgrading to 10 again but I haven't found a compelling reason to.
                  The start screen on 8.1 isn't too bad but it's no more than OK.

                  Since I use keyboard shortcuts for almost everything, the Windows UI doesn't really mean much to me.

                    Once it is installed it is not nearly so bad, the installation screens make it feel like you are on your way to the carnival.

                      One thing that surprises me is that Microsoft didn't think about what a massive impact their weirdness with application selection would have on remote users. You go from everything working to a full screen networking intense lock up disaster every time that you hit the Windows key because instead of putting just a little bit of info that you need on the screen, they fill every inch of the screen with horrendous animations that just flood the network with traffic and make even the simplest tasks come to a halt - all while triggering the "left the room" effect which totally cripples productivity.
