I don't believe this is network related, ok i KNOW, but <grin>:
I setup various ltsp clients to run mythtv. All were awful.
Using the Same Hardware, Same network I made a custom NFS-root system (SuSE
min-graphics + mythtv. It too was terrid.
I used the Same Hardware, Same Network, Same image (whole file system) but
installed on a local harddisk - near perfect
And here you have a fat client, all processing done on the client, no
bitmaps pushed across the network. I am *really* surprised you made a P1
200 MHz with 64MByte RAM actually show movies. On my PIII 600 MHz I used
to have to use a separate card to crunch the DVD output.
I used ltsp-ize to make a flash+ram version fat-client also near perfect.
Again, you are not sending the movie across the network. I think.
I watch 3 tv streams on the same network at the same time, just as perfect.
Ummm, I may be wrong, but I think a tradtional TV stream is nowhere like
a DVD when it comes to bandwidth usage.
Conclusion: NFS root == bad network video
100M network will support 2 ltsp + 3 TV without any ill effects
My slight jerkyness on fast moving scenes et MotoGP, Footy are
my videocard or the DVICO HDTV cards.
From your (slight) explanation of the various cases you have been
thorugh, I am not entirely convinced you compare apples with apples ;)
Actually, I am quite impressed you could see a movie at all on your LTSP
client, given the hardware!
