I am using a symbolic link from my XBMC clients to a central Thumbnails folder. I have my Zotac ND-22 acting as my lightweight server. It runs XBMC, sickbeard, SAB, mysql, and has the Thumbnails folder that my other HTPC clients access. My other clients are on a dedicated wireless N network running at 5Ghz. I dont have any problems streaming 1080p video so I know my wireless connection is good.
My issue is that accessing my library can be a bit slow and scrolling through the library in showcase mode is little jerky. Its nothing I cant live with for the convenience of having a central Thumbnails database but was hoping there is something I can to help speed things up a bit. I recently changed to an SSD on my server which helped a lot. Is there anything else I can do? Perhaps clean up the Thumbnails folder to get rid of unused images?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
