Okay. Stage 4 backup. Check. Just need to verify by installing on a virtual machine, and I am good to go. So far everything is working okay, with some tweaking to do.
I used to be able to stream vids to my laptop using ampache/vlc/portable mplayer combination, which worked pretty well until I switched the media server to a wireless adapter. Assuming I need to keep this up I was thinking about possibly transcoding the bids to a lower bitrate. I tried to do that, but I get an error message about MMXEXT not being compiled into the kernel, so it's time for an upgrade of the kernel, and possibly adding some extra compile flags to my make.conf files.
To test the low bitrate idea I'm going to find some samples to test and see what happens.
