Hmm, again I'm gonna veer the topic off tangent.
2 things happening on my home network. The first is probably a networking issue but I'll just list it down anyways and the 2nd is issues playing 720/1080p across the network.
1st. Copying files from my file server to my HTPC caps at 3.5 MB/s. This doesn't make sense. It should be higher. I can't figure out whats wrong with it. File server runs debian and HTPC ubuntu 10.10. I'm thinking switch limitation. Its a basic RM50 switch (TP-Link) i think. You guys got any other ideas?
2nd. When I watch movies on my HTPC, the movies are actually piped from my server in another room. Using MythTV backend and frontend setups. 720 and 1080p movies are jerky (both video and sound). Even if I don't use MythTV to watch, I still get that problem.
However, when I copy the file to my HTPC hard drive, the movie plays fine. No jerky or skipping. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I apologize for not noticing this earlier, farkinid. I haven't been on much this past week.
I have a couple of theories, but I'm really not the most proficient person to ask when it comes to coms/networking. I could possibly try to solve your predicament myself, but it would require referencing a large backend of documentation, which I don't really have much time to do currently due to other commitments (you're probably more proficient than I am at this sort of thing at this moment in time, anyway)
If you don't mind, I'll forward your post to a friend who specializes in this sort of thing. He guided me through setting up my entire home/home-to-studio/home-to-mum's-home network. I'll post up his reply once/if he replies me.
Once again, I regret I can't help you directly. I'm more the type that guts scripts and kernels.
Cheers.
