Hi there.
Using Frodo Final 12.0 for Windows 7 64bit. Frodo in amazing, everybody knows that.
I'm having a small issue with watching .iso BlueRay movies, coming from NFS mechanism from Synology NAS.
Occationally playing pauses for buffering issues. This will take like max 2 secs for the system to fill the buffers.
How can I raise the network cache settings in Frodo. Isn't it suppose to be auto nowadays?
advancedsettings.xml?

Ok. I tested this "5242880" = 5M yesterday, with no efect. Debug log said "advancedsettings.xml" <cachemembuffersize> was consumed.
Maybe I'll raise it to ... 20MB? =(20971520)

why do u like to use NFS when you are on a windows client ?
i have a synology ds410, and used nfs for my old wdtv.
now with my windows htpc i have no problems using SMB.
what are the benefits of using nfs on the windows machine ?

Isn't NFS quite more lightweight than Samba that has more overhead? The purpose is to use NFS is order to reduce the possible network pull impact..

mounted volumes? So are you saying that with SMB this is resovled?
I used before Samba and it worked great. In windows I Do not have mapped anything, I'm using the SMB://user:pass@srv/ in sources.xml.
Should I map it to OS as well and use the Mapped drive?

What I mean is that if you mount a drive on a machine, that sharing that drive via NFS does not work.
I may be spitting B$, as I don't use NFS, but I seem to remember hearing that it wouldn't work. My drive-pooling software (StableBit Drivepool) can run via NFS because of this limitation.

that´s samba needs more overhead than nfs... but u are connected over Gbit-LAN ! so where is the problem to live with a little bit more overhead?

My wired network is running on Windows SMB as Bimme too, and I can playback the same movie (40+gb blu-ray size) on three HTPC's at the same time without buffer. I prefer classic workgroup-style networking instead of homegroup networking. I found that it is quicker....

set xbmc to use network share (SMB)....
u can map the drive to ur htpc if u want, but i wouldnt try to set xbmc to the mapped (local) drive, cause i don´t know if the right buffer size is applied this way... but it could work too, haven´t tried...
