Mine may be slower as I am using SAMBA shares as opposed to NFS, as I
want to make the media available to Windows machines. Also EPIA's are
generally slow at everything!
Like you I get an enormous amount of network activity whilst waiting,
interestingly -
* Using the real DVD, xine plays fine and immediately.
* Using the iso from a network share, xine refuses and says "The
source seems encrypted, and cant be read. Your DVD is probably crypted.
According to your country laws, you can or can't install/use libdvdcss
to be able to read this disc, which you bought. (Media stream
scrambled/encrypted)"
* Using the iso from the HDD, xine refuses and says "The source
seems encrypted..........."
* Using 'Cyberlink PowerDVD' on a Windows machine from a network
share, it plays fine and immediately.
For me the disk is question is part of 'Friends Series 3', I bought the
missus the first four series for xmas, so potentially 24 DVD (sides) :o(
Any suggestions?
