Hi, My setup is a little bit more complicated as it is using a share drive on both machine. The two local disks are only CF. The file server is compose of 4x SATA II 500GB in raid 5 (total ~1.5 TB available) piloted by a promise controller and a fully idle 3 GHz P4 CPU. The throughput or the sustained write/read access is not a bottleneck. Here is a quick ASCII art drawing: /-- 100M --[AP]~ WIFI 54Mb ~[vdr client/FF]-[TV] | [switch]--- 100M ---[CIFS/fileserver] | \-- 100M -- [vdr server/B2C2]-DVB-S+DVB-T This evening I will test the provided patch.
