Hey guys (New member here) I just ordered a NAS myself as well. I ordered the TonidoPlug...similar to the pogoplug and I was wondering if anyone noticed better performance from SMB Sharing via there NAS. Currently my HDs are connected to my Macbook and then I SMB share to my ATV2. Performance is pretty good....besides the xvid and some m4v files (surprisingly). So I'm hoping that this little NAS device will help with the buffering I get from the m4v files (I just re-encoded one to see if it will not buffer this time with handbrake...as I don't have many m4v files (like 10 or so)....but I don't want to I have to) Anyways I was just wondering if anyone with a NAS noticed the buffering was less prevalent? Or do you think hardwiring the ATV2 might be a better solution. Or could it be the m4vs itself? Sorry for the loaded question
My connection is 20DL and 2.5UL and it will be connected to a Cisco-Linksys WRT router.
PS: Overall this is my first time playing with XBMC....and I freaking love it. I've had to do some renaming but its worth it to see the glorious fanart, season thumbs etc. Elipsis is an amazing skin btw!
