Hi everyone , Just tried again with my sources.xml wich have all my source in NFS:// format.
I did a copy of my source.xml to two files I have one source.xml.ftp and another source.nfs so I can jump between the two while testing.
Anyhow
Results are that NFS is very slow compared to ftp , both on Directory listings and also streaming( IT buffers alot)
So setup is this ,
All the same for both test , Same Video file , same network, same ATV2.
Tests are on Ethernet.
ATV2 firmware is = 4.2.2(2203)
Installed from latests http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2
The version of xbmc is = 20110824-2182753 ( 24 Agust )
Sound is stereo over HDMI
Movie is 720p h.264
What I like ppl to look at is the time it takes to start the video on NFS compared to ftp and also the buffering issues which are not existant in ftp.
Here are the logs
http://haffi.is/ftp.txt
http://haffi.is/nfs.txt
and please lets keep this thread to the point. I.e. not start talkin about if my network is no good and so on since this works fine on ftp. There for the network is fine ( p.s. I have Cisco network Equip). For some reasons the NFS is just slower. You can see this by looking at the time on the logs and compareing the two logs. I have two Apple TV 2 boxes same results on both of them, and Also I have a Linux box running ubuntu and Xbmc with Same Xbmc version streaming the same video file from NFS or FTP without problems.
Hope this helps for the Dev team
