I hate to say that, but it works fine here, both on the wired lan (my vdr machine is diskless)
100 MBit wired is much faster an you get less errors than with 54 MBit wlan.
and on the wireless lan (replaying on a laptop with the xine plugin, either with an nfs mounted directory or live video through streamdev).
Do you use NFS over TCP/IP?
Both machines are running a stock mandrake kernel (2.6.3-7mdk on the nfs server, 2.6.8.1-24mdk on the client),
I have a 2.4.21 kernel on the client and 2.4.19 on server.
both have an atheros based 11g card using the madwifi driver (different cvs versions on the server and client), the server is configured as an access point.
I also use the madwifi driver on the client. The server is connected to a NETGear 108 MBit access point.
A throughput of 1200 KB/s should be enough if buffering works right. And if I specify a 8 MB buffer this covers more than 10 s of playback.
Why does vdr not fill up its input buffer?
