Roomie Remote 3 New Features in Roomie Remote 3.1

DUNE HD AND MEDE8ER PLUS KODI MEDIA GUIDE

Roomie Remote 3.1 includes support for Dune HD and Mede8er media players in conjunction

with a Kodi (formerly XBMC) player. Once configured, Roomie Remote can direct the content

from the network attached storage (NAS) the Kodi system is using to either Dune or Mede8er.

The Dune HD and Mede8er Media Guides require a Roomie Service Subscription.

Roomie Remote gets the appropriate filenames from the Kodi system and relays it to the Dune

or Mede8er device. Because the pathnames are slightly different, the configuration process

includes setting the appropriate mount point.

Note: Both Dune HD and Mede8er media players must be added as devices in Roomie

Remote using Manual IP, which means you must lock their IP addresses once they are

configured. This can be done using a feature of your router generally called “static IP” or

“DHCP reservation”. Refer to your router documentation for more information.

Because different NAS store their files at different locations in the file system, you must specify

a mount point so that Kodi can find and deliver the appropriate files.

As an example, let’s say that a NAS uses this pathname to get to a particular movie:

/Volumes/video/movies/movietitle.mkv

Roomie Remote is going to remove the “/Volumes” portion of that path and replace it with the

mount point you specify, thus giving the correct full path to the desired files.

An example mount point for Dune HD: nfs-tcp://192.168.1.10:/volume1

An example mount point for Mede8er X3D: smb://192.168.1.10

Note: If you need more information, refer to the documentation for your media player.

To set a mount point for a Dune HD or a Mede8er X3D media player:

1. Open Roomie Remote.

2. Add the Dune HD or Mede8er X3D media player as a device.

3. When you get to the Add Device screen, navigate to the Path field in the XBMC Mount

Point section.

4. Tap Path.
