Ok, I've set it up to use nfs, I think. /etc/exports: /video/myth-recordings 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure,sync) /video/movies 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure,sync) /tftpboot/dongle.bin.mvpmc.config rdate -s 192.168.10.10 TZ='EST+5EDT,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2'; export TZ mkdir /video mkdir /video/movies mkdir /video/myth-recordings mount -t nfs -o nolock,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nfsvers=3 192.168.10.10:/ video/movies/ /video/movies/ mount -t nfs -o nolock,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nfsvers=3 192.168.10.10:/ video/myth-recordings /video/myth-recordings/ mvpmc -s 192.168.10.10 --vlc 192.168.10.10 --weather-location USNY1434 -r /video/myth-recordings & cat <<EOF > /tmp/font_override.xml <mvpmctheme version="0" name="font override"> <font name="standard">/etc/helvB18.pcf</font> <font name="large">/etc/helvB18.pcf</font> </mvpmctheme> EOF The mvpmc is definitely mounting the nfs because I can play the mpgs directly from the myth-recordings directory. When I choose it through the mythtv interface I can't really tell if it is using nfs rather than mythtv, but hopefully it is and I'll monitor to see if the syncing behavior is any different. One thing I see immediately is that the fast-forward has the same behavior, which is smooth initially then it kinda stutters and I'm never sure whether it is actually going fast at that point or not. THat was the same behaviour under the myth protocol and no improvement with this now mounted under nfs. Is that expected or might that be related?
