(this is mainly @margro)
I thought it could be useful to use NFS instead of SMB for reading files when using TSReader since I'm looking to switch to using a RaspberryPi, so every CPU cycle counts
This evening I played around with the addon source and changed the ToXBMCPath function in utils.cpp and replaced smb:// with nfs:// and then commented out the username/password bits below it.
This was mainly as a test to see if it could even work - since I don't really know what I'm doing
After creating two NFS shares on the Mediaportal box (using the same names as used for the SMB shares) it worked a treat and even on my Acer Revo, it seems a bit quicker at opening files.
Would it be possible to get this added as a 'proper' option in the addon ? probably something like under the advanced section of the addon configuration have a checkbox to 'use NFS instead of SMB' then just ignore the username/password (if one has been entered) and switch the protocol in the connection details?
It seems like this could be a very quick way to eek out a little extra performance from lower power boxes that are in use these days.
