Absolutely baffled by this.
Main living room machine runs xmbcbuntu and houses all storage. I previously added sources via local paths.
When adding a new machine I setup a central mysql database, but that failed as the second machine didnt understand the local path name to files (fair enough) so I set them up again as smb references.
The remote machine can stream 45gb blurays over the network without batting an eyelid, but the local machine (essentially accessing the files via smb://localhost) plays for around 3 seconds and buffers for 30 over and over again even on the tiniest of files
The local machine is a performance powerhouse so I dont think it could be getting overloaded and re-adding soures as local references play fine but result in duplicates that the second machine cannot play. Any ideas anyone? I'm stumped
