Hello
My videos are located in my media homeserver in my LAN. There are samba and NFS server installed on my homeserver.
Yesterday I tried to play some bluray movies from my homeserver through samba and then through NFS. The client PC is Apple TV 1 running OpenELEC.
If I play through samba there is a little buffering at the beginning of the movie, but after that plying is smooth.
But If I use NFS then the playing performance is bad.
I was surprised, because I expect NFS to be faster than samba.
So, my questions:
1. what is your NFS server configuration?
2. what mount options you use on the NFS client?
Here is my NFS server configuration in /etc/exports:
Here is mount commad with options I use in the NFS client (Apple TV):
As you can see I use NFSv3. Today I will give a try with NFSv4.
