I am using the myth internal streaming, I have not tried nfs or samba, is it possible to use either of those on a ma frontend? Also, how would I go about analyzing the traffic to figure out what is taking up so much bandwidth? Since the internal streaming is the easiest to set up it would be nice if it worked correctly. It does the same thing on two different frontend machines.

I am using the latest cvs of mythtv with a backend on debian and a frontend on mac os x. The backend has 2 pvr 250s. Sometime in the last couple of weeks, mythtv has become unusable over my 802.11g connection. Typically, to watch tv, i used to see network traffic of around 600kb/s. RIght now, when I watch tv, my network traffic is around 2.2 Mb/s which is about the best 802.11g can do. And, the video is now jumpy with this increased net traffic. Watching the same file in vlc over an http connection results in < 400 kb/s in network traffic so something is amiss with mythtv. Any ideas on what is causing this huge amount of network traffic?
Curious, how are you connecting to the files on the backend from the frontend?
myth internal streaming nfs samba
I typically use samba and just finished setting up the frontend and found that using samba, I could not skip through a file at all and my network was pegged. I unmounted and tried the internal streaming and it worked perfectly. Then I tried NFS and that also works just fine.
Thought maybe you might be using samba.
