What is the result of running a bandwidth test in mvpmc? > ...the Homeplug adapter reports around 120/130 Mbps. That may be a burst rate. With video, you obviously need a sustained rate. You also need fairly low latency on the return path, so that the ACKs can get back to the server, otherwise the server backs off on its transmission. If the Homeplug service has a half-duplex behavior, that might account for it. > I'm using mount.cifs to access samba shares on my linux server. In addition to the stuff Martin suggested, I'd recommend trying NFS. It's supposedly a lighter weight protocol over the wire than SMB. You also have the option of trying NFS over UDP. Stewart's suggestion of using VLC to do the streaming is worth trying if NFS doesn't help. Perhaps if you set it up for minimal or no transcoding (if that's possible) it'll be usable on your low horse power machine. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
