I have been using my FreeNAS for a little over 2 years now. In the coming months, I will be building my XBMC-based HTPC to play media from my FreeNAS.
I am extremely anxious to jump in and get started once I have my XBMC HTPC built... so I created this thread to gather tips from other FreeNAS/XBMC users. Could you please share the best configuration to use with FreeNAS and XBMC?!
I am currently running 3x1TB disks in RAIDZ. I plan to expand my storage in the near future (but that is another story). As of right now, I am using a minimal amount of services (Transmission being the primary one). I run my FreeNAS as a headless box and log in via SSH or the WebGUI. I am currently using AFP.
What would I need to do to get FreeNAS to work as best as possible with XBMC? Eventually, I plan to run SABnzbd, Sick Beard, and Couch Potato on my FreeNAS (tips/links for installing and configuring these services on FreeNAS are also welcome!)
Thank you in advance for your help!
