I'm trying to get at my (legal) mp3 collection on my home machine from work. I do not want to run a web server on my home machine. Really, I'd like to just mount my mp3 directory over ssh, which is where lufs and shfs come in. I've compiled and installed the modules for both lufs and shfs, and I can mount from my home machine with either one. The problem is caching/buffering.
When I try to play an mp3 with xmms, I get pauses during the song. Using lufs, I get two or three seconds of music with a half second pause in between. With shfs, I get a second of music with maybe a tenth of a second pause in between. I mucked with the shfs source to turn on its read cache and increase the cache size, and I got stuttering music (very brief bits of song with even briefer pauses). Has anyone gotten either lufs or shfs to work well enough to play mp3s? I know I have sufficient average bandwidth to play them, but I need the filesystem to read ahead and cache while it's playing. Pauses between songs is no problem, but pauses during the song make it worthless. --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
