This makes so much sense. Thanks Keith.

keith Wrote:Yup because SMB sucks on TimeCapsule/Airport Extreme because it uses a netbsd client, not Samba.
If/when afpclient gets refactored then we'll have native AFP in XBMC and hopefully that's better.

jd2157 Wrote:Wow, the netbsd SMB implementation must be pretty terrible if you get better performance by SMB sharing an AFP mounted share, i.e. 2 levels/protocols of sharing.
Here's to hoping for iOS-based Airport Extreme/TC's. Maybe QoS will finally show up.
Quote:Funny you should mention, iOS 5 based AE/TC's are around the corner, sometime this fall with the release of the next iPhone along with Apple's iCloud service (apparently software updates/data info for OS X and iOS will be cached to the devices until system use).

So no h264 with non-standard encoding...
jd2157 Wrote:That's what I was referring to, but I don't think iOS-based AE/TCs are a done deal yet. AFAIK it's just rumors based on low AE/TC stock and speculation about them playing a part in iCloud.
The low stock could just mean minor hardware updates, and Apple could just add features to the existing OS on the AE/TC for the iCloud stuff... hopefully they won't though and will go to iOS. It'd make a lot of sense to reuse the OS and hardware that the iPhone/iPad/iPod/atv2 are all using.
While they're updating the AE it'd be nice to see some Airplay features, audio at least.
Quote:...Ars Technica briefly notes that it has received word that the new Time Capsule may actually follow the pattern of the Apple TV, taking on an A4 or A5 processor from Apple and running iOS to manage the more advanced functions that could appear in the device...
...Harnessing the power of iOS directly within the Time Capsule device, even if on a scaled-down basis as in the Apple TV, naturally opens the door to further speculation of how Apple could tie together iCloud services with local storage on users' own networks, whether it be caching some iCloud content to the Time Capsule for faster access when on the local network or even pushing some of the Time Machine functions included on the current Time Capsule out to iCloud itself.
Separately, we've heard an unconfirmed tip that iOS 5 may finally be bringing wireless syncing to iOS devices, including the intriguing claim that the wireless syncing could be performed directly with the new Time Capsules, bypassing the need to sync with a specific computer.

jd2157 Wrote:Thanks for the core dump Sounds very promising.
Assuming the rumors come true, Apple can consider this my pre-order for an iOS-based TC and a dual core ATV.
