I have a server (Ubuntu edgy) with a bunch of DVD iso's on it. It has a gigabit NIC and is connected to the same switch (gigabit) that my myth box (gigabit NIC) is connected to. I mounted the share on my Knoppmyth box, but usually around 3 quarters of the way through a movie it craps out saying
libdvdread: cannot read block XXXXXX (what ever it is).
I have tried this in all the players on the Knoppmyth box (vlc,mplayer,xine, and myth builtin) same problem on all of them.
Now when I copy this iso directly to the Myth hdd it works fine, only when it is playing over samba is there a problem. I can also mount this share on a windows box and the movie plays find in VLC. Just for kicks I ran hdparm and both HDD's (myth, and server) are DMA with 40-50mb transfer rates.
Has anybody else experienced this? Are there some type of buffer settings that I can play with? I know its on a Gigabit network, but could there be network issues that are causing this? Could I run sometype of diagnostic utility like hdparm to determine this? I realize I could run NFS but I would rather use SAMBA for windows compatibiilty.
Any help would be appreciated,
Dan
