Hello all,
I have been using XBMC on my old XBOXs for a while now and run all of my media from a Ubuntu-based server in my basement. Now that I have XBMC for Linux installed, I am wondering about how to go about things. Currently I have XBMC running my media from the SMB shares. Would I gain anything by mounting my media shares on the Linux box with NFS and having XBMC use these "local" stores? I know that NFS is supposed to be faster than SMB, and while everything works great for right now, I want to look forward to the future as I push my high def files over my network to my media boxes.
Thanks,
Terry
