**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 25 02:59:57 2009 Mar 25 06:36:24 hey :) if anyone's there I've got a quick question Mar 25 06:37:00 What's the Q? Mar 25 06:37:18 I've been searching on the forum about NFS file system Mar 25 06:37:35 do i still need to mount NFS shares via telnet on a P1? Mar 25 06:38:02 I want to try NFS as SAMBA is giving me grief, lol Mar 25 06:38:35 Yeah, the GUI does not expose NFS, so you'll need to perform manual hacks. Mar 25 06:39:02 Either telnet as/when needed or put in a script that is run on boot. Mar 25 06:39:07 are there any guides/ tips to enable the telnet hack? Mar 25 06:39:13 I haven't tried it yet Mar 25 06:39:58 prl made a number of posts on the forums about enabling telnet in the firmware. Mar 25 06:40:15 ok, thanx - I'll keep searching Mar 25 06:40:22 thanx for the help :) Mar 25 06:40:40 The instructions are pretty detailed and I think it actually works. Mar 25 06:41:08 The first couple of versions had a propensity for making the box unbootable, as I experienced first hand. Mar 25 06:41:27 oops..... glad it works now hehe Mar 25 06:41:46 Anyway, what kind of problems do you have with SMB that you expect to resolve with NFS? Mar 25 06:43:01 everything's working mostly.... i just get the occasional jerkiness/ jitter that I am hoping NFS may help fix Mar 25 06:43:32 I'm not a complete noob @ this... but I'm still learning as i go :) Mar 25 06:44:24 All files on wired 100 Mbit network? Mar 25 06:44:44 yes Mar 25 06:45:17 I'm running ubuntu 8.10 as my download box/ file server via 100 Mbit wired network Mar 25 06:45:21 So, both Wiz recordings and MKVs / AVIs stop/start Mar 25 06:45:32 no, recordings are all fine Mar 25 06:45:53 avi's are usually all good - MKV's are usually causing the jerkiness Mar 25 06:46:15 I've converted them to mp4 / m2ts & that helps A LOT Mar 25 06:46:21 I mean Wiz recordings transferred to the server (via straight beyonwiz COPY from the UI) and then played off the network. Mar 25 06:46:35 I actually haven't tried to do that Mar 25 06:46:53 I just watch the recordings & delete them when i'm finished Mar 25 06:47:19 That should be the first test. If you can get a HD recording copied to the serve and play it back without problems, then the network is not your problem. Mar 25 06:48:20 Many MKVs/AVIs will be 24fps or 60fps, so you may need to run in NTSC mode to get smoother playback. Mar 25 06:48:21 thanx... I'll give that a try before I bother trying changing from SAMBA to NFS. Samba is working & I've (finally) got the permissions set just right after a LOT of reading :) Mar 25 06:49:30 so you mean to change to NTSC mode when playing an MKV/ AVI? Now that you mention it I think I remember reading that on the forum somewhere Mar 25 06:49:44 I'll also try that Mar 25 06:50:14 thanx again - I really the tips Mar 25 06:50:34 I wish the Beyonwiz would have a setting to output at native frame rate, so that I can watch smooth 24fps content. Mar 25 06:50:35 really appreciate the tips - damn fingers didnt work Mar 25 06:51:29 yeah, that'd come in handy. Due to the current ONE HD debacle I'm having to download a lot of shows now Mar 25 06:53:37 thanx for the tips peter - I'm off to see how I go with your suggestions Mar 25 07:29:58 Good luck. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Mar 26 02:59:57 2009
