Currently I mount SSHFS via my OS using a script that runs every minute via crontab as root and automatically remounts if there is an issue. I realize I should not need this to be constantly checking, however the reconnect option and fstab just don't seem to remount properly on their own. My mount line is similar to;
"/usr/bin/sshfs user@domain:/stuff /stuff/ -o allow_other -oreconnect -o ro"
This works perfect, I've used it for an extremely long time.
I've noticed recently that XBMC now has the "add network location" for "Secure Shell (SSH/SFTP)" and decided to try using it. When doing so it makes 1080p content unplayable with constant buffering. I would have actually assumed it would now recognize my location as a proper network location instead of just a directory on my OS and use some additional caching. Why is this working so poorly?
My downstream is around 30 mbit. Below are some simple system stats;
XBMC 13.0-BETA2 Git:20140315-a1cab7a (Compiled: Mar 15 2014)
OS: Linux 3.8.0-34-generic/x86_64 - Distro: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
CPU: 4 x Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz

Any input appreciated!
