I don't believe this project can accomplish all of what it claims it will.
Media streaming alone is an art and a science all in itself. There are various formats, encoders, decoders, etc... This is why AirServer/AirVideo is its own thing already... and I'm sure they're very busy.

And file sync plus version management? Resolving conflicts there is yet another art all in itself.
It would be amazing if they could pull 50% of this off, and even at 50%, their engineers have their work cut out for them BIGTIME.
- sktrdie 13y agoThis is just a Linux server running something like Samba [1] to share files across your local network or the internet. Quite basic stuff. I've had this setup at home for ages, using some old cheap laptops/computers. You can actually replicate this on Windows or Mac natively. Just share a folder. Am I missing the exciting part? -- Edit: for crying out loud, my media-center has a sharing functionality. Which means my media-center does exactly what this Plug thing supposed to do, without all the non-sense proprietary marketing shenanigans. Wake up people. This tech has been around for ages! 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software)
