    Default Streaming suggestions and optimization

    Hi All,

    just looking for a little advice, before i start cancelling subscriptions

    Current setup:

    Lounge:
    Nas server
    PC connected to Samsung smart tv
    Media browser 3
    Hulu +
    Netflix
    Playon

    Bedroom:
    Xbox One
    Media browser 3 - DLNA
    Hulu +
    Netflix

    Basically all ok in the bedroom, in fact the xbox one does all of this really well. My issue is the lounge (apparently my wife went let me live in the bedroom only) Used to play all media through media browser from nas. but the minute i included streaming, it all became a headache, because the PLAYON plugin worked the first day and never since. so now if i want to swap between netflix and MB and hulu i have to go to the pc, close one and open the other. MY MCM remote is now me cause i cant open hulu or netflix inside MB3.

    any suggestions on how i can fix the lounge setup - the ultimate goal is to get rid of DSTV (if i can find a site that does live SA rugby streaming)

    You could try out a different media server like Plex or PS3 Media Server.

    If you can find someone who doesn't mind you using their DSTV account details, you should be able to stream SuperSport

    Thanks Matt, honestly the though of migrating to plex fills me with dread, especially because i've always been such a big supporter of MB3 and even have a lifetime subscription, not too mention the money ive spent on plugins - but if i have to i will

    but the supersport streaming idea is brilliant and i definitly will look into that

    Thanks again
