I have that same player and love it. Unlike most others though, I use (and much prefer) Serviio over Plex to stream movies off my PC.

Lots of useful information here!

I love that one too...

This year, I got a pair of S5200s for $59.99 each. They also do miracast and a couple of other new tricks.

I bought that same one for someone and it works fine.

I'm considering getting either a refurbished S5100 or a new S5200 for another TV in the house. When the S5200 first came out I remember reading that Sony dropped some feature from it that's on the S5100, reviews still said the S5100 was the better player, but I can't remember what it was or find the info again. Is there anything about the S5100 over the S5200 that you found better, or vice versa?

Your face was on the cards of bobby pins that I had to buy for my mother?!

Nice try, anyone from the 60s remembers Jean Shrimpton. But I can't figure out if your name is meant to be similar to Gail Russell.

Ripplinger, I had the pleasure of meeting Jean the Shrimp Shrimpton in 1968. She was known as "the most beautiful girl in the world," and I wouldn't argue!

I had to look up Gail Russell. I'm not familiar with her.

Originally I called myself Russell on the internet because that's my name. After a while, it became commonplace for that handle to be already taken, so I started calling myself GA Russell because I lived in Georgia at the time.

I'd always wonder about the avatar. as well

It should be NC Russell now or RA Russel seeing you live in Raleigh. It's really cold out right here in Raleigh 27 degrees!

One of my favorite features of Chrome is right-click-search-google-for-this-image. I've right clicked the heck out of that image. As amazing as that picture is, it's kind of run of the mill for Ms. Shrimpton who may well be the "the most beautiful girl in the world."

Holy-freakin'-moley, I never noticed that search option!!!

All this time using Image Search and Chrome, and I've been cutting and pasting image urls into the image search web site!

K for that.

I haven't unboxed the S5200 yet. I can followup after I get to use one for a couple hours. As far as I know, price is the only advantage of the s5100. The s5200 supports miracast. I have had no problems with the s5100 and expect to love the s5200 even more (if that is possible).

I apologize in advance for costing you so much productive time. You might as well start with GA Russell's avatar.
