I can now use the same watch folder on any system I like, while the Mac Mini is the one doing all the work.Īs I stated above, I like downloading via usenet.

I configured my MacBook and Windows PC to mount the shared watch folder on startup. As with all folders, the watch folder can be shared over the network for added functionality. SABnzbd can monitor a given folder every few seconds for new NZB files and once detected, they are added to the cue. When working with multiple NZB files, it can be a pain to upload them all separately to SABnzbd. I’d like to highlight one very simple but much used feature, the watch folder. It also allows access to its API’s in order to communicate with other programs like Sickbeard, Couch Potato and the likes. Free, fast, skinnable, open source and very feature rich.

But it looks like crap! Now having the advantage of a full fledged PC, I could pick whatever I want, but it was a no-brainer: SABnzbd.

Despite of the Popcorn’s limited processor and memory, it always maxed out my ISP’s download speed. Multiple servers, watch folder, par check and unrar. NZBGet is a lightweight package with a pretty complete feature set. My old PopcornHour C200 used NZBGet as its out-of-the-box usenet client. I prefer usenet downloading over all other forms. I had to at least match this with my new setup. Downloaded, PAR checked, unrarred and already residing on the main media hard drive. Upload your NZB’s or torrents and forget all about it.

One thing I loved about my previous networked media tank was its ability to function as an allround hassle free downloader. This article is part of larger collection on various subjects about the installation of my Mac Mini as a mediacenter to replace my PopcornHour C200 and Plex server PC. I will use the powerbuttons color for the different power states:
False advertising perhaps? Something PopcornHour is not shy of (network speed anyone?)įor those who are interested, here are the actual measured values. The only time it uses less is when it’s completely powered off (9,4 watts), but that’s not ‘typical’ use. That’s almost a third more! Orange-ring state only uses 0.5 watts less. In its ‘typical’, white-ring power state without doing anything else, the C200 uses 19,5 watts of power. It’s rated, and I quote: typical: 13 W (no additional device installed/attached). If I didn’t want to sell the C200, I wouldn’t have ordered a new PSU in the first place and would’ve continued on with the power hungry power supply for many… well… months to come.Īnother thing to mention is the specified power consumption at. More functionality and flexibility being among them. Although power consumption was what made me think again about all my media equipment, there were a lot of other factors that pointed me in that direction. Would knowing this have affected my decision to buy a MacMini to replace the C200? No. Something not necessary for a relative low-power device like the PopcornHour C200. My knowledge of ATX power supply is only limited, but it looks like the original PSU only provides the current as needed, while the non-original PSU, with higher power rating I might add, is always at some kind of a base energy level in order to quickly deliver higher demands of power. These measurements show different power supplies can make a significant change in overall power consumption. the hard disk spinning or spinned down was only about 10 mA, while with the new original supply, the difference is 22(!) mA. With the non-original power supply, the difference between e.g. Another thing I noticed comparing the ‘before and after’ values was the difference between the various states the C200 can be in. Measurements showed the orignal power supply used an average of 75 mA, that’s 17,6 watts, less during normal operation.
Once turned on, the differences became even more apparent. Out came my trusted Fluke 87, I plugged it in and immediately I saw a drop in current compared to my DIY donor power supply 42 mA vs. It came in today, so time to measure some more to see what difference the new supply makes. Mainly because the C200 would have no resale value in its DIY state, but I was also curious what the difference in power usage would be. The amount of current drawn by the C200 was way more than I expected, but I suspected the not-so-standard supply might be to blame.Īlthough replaced by my brand new Mac Mini, I ordered a new and orignal power supply. The original power supply died after two years of continues use, so I replaced it with an ATX supply from a donor PC. In part 2 of my ‘Mediadevices power reduction quest’ I examined the amount power used by my always-on PopcornHour C200 mediatank.
