I think it's been fixed. I have a das boot recording which is 2.8 GB (director's cut)... and samba has no problem serving it. The downside is that mplayer doesn't seem to be able to seek a file that flipping huge. I'll try nfs and see if that works any better with bigass files like das boot. On

Well, I just did some testing of NFS vs. samba. With smb, I got slight pauses throughout the movie when another machine on the network bothered the samba server. While not a terribly big deal, it was annoying. Using NFS, everything was buttery smooth. With smb, movies started faster. This is

Well, it isn't like mplayer doesn't play them. It does. It just doesn't behave as well as it could. I'll look into those options anyway though. :) ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org

Yes, it is the preferred networking method between multiple linux boxes. Samba will work, but has some overhead that you may see a difference with if you were to give NFS a run. NFS has other benefits as well, but my guess is you really only care about the speed and efficiency of getting your

I did some reading up on this a while back and everyone I talked to sugjestted if you connecting Linux to Linux, you want NFS. If your connecting to a linux box from a windows box, you want Samba. Not all linux distro's have NFS compiled into the core. Fedora core 3 does. Hope this helps.
