Thanks to all for the suggestions. I'll let you know how I get on. So far I tried a few rsize tweaks in mount.cifs. This made some difference. Depending on value, the playback degrades sooner or later in the first high bitrate sequence.
BTW, the reason I started with mount.cifs is that I already have samba running on my server, not NFS. The Homeplug AV adapter says it has QoS functionality. I found an interesting technical article at http://www.edn.com/article/CA6558480.html http://www.edn.com/article/CA6558480.html which suggests that QoS maybe kicks in for UDP only. The interviewee is from a different manufacturer to the device I have (which is Devolo), but I suspect there will be much in common. Assuming UDP is part of the solution, I think NFS is my only option. I know VLC supports UDP, but what I read about mvpmc/vlc integration suggests that video would be streamed over HTTP, right? It's interesting to me that streaming video over homeplug+samba to my laptop seems fine for that same high bit rate / charging dinosaur scene, whereas to mvpmc is not. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Stuttering-video-tp17834059s24861p17862354.html Sent from the MediaMVP Media Center - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
