When I used to run XBMC on Xbox hardware I was really impressed with the performance of [Skip] (30/60 seconds forward).

From the moment I pressed the skip button to the time the video skipped and resumed playing felt almost instant, < 100 ms.

Now since I've started using XBMC on Linux, there is a definite lag on the skips. Closer to 500ms - 1000ms. (and it's variable, sometimes quicker than others in the same set of skips)

I know this is nit picking -- but does anyone have tips on increase skip performance in Linux? The videos are played via local NFS mount on our file server (w/ a gigabit network connection on both ends).

Are there any XBMC / OS / Network settings I can adjust to improve the lag on skips?

Thanks!

No.

No.

I just tried SAMBA instead of NFS and it appears to be more responsive. I wonder if it's something with my NFS config (either client settings or server).

Just watched a few more shows and yeah -- SAMBA performs much better, just like the Xbox Hardware did (which was also using SAMBA).

Wonder what it is about NFS....
