I'm almost complete setting up ubuntu server to act as my nasbox and will be including upnp (mediatomb) and firefly for itunes this weekend to it.
With XBMC setup on a front end under Windows 7 (or other platform), which connection gives the best performance for streaming video, either HD, bluray, etc.?
A upnp connection or a mapped drive to the server? I think xbmc can also accept an ftp connection? Would that provide better streaming over the other two?
Has anybody attempted to benchmark the performance of each?
Thanks
