[mythtv-users] Samba shares for live TV issue

[Gerald Brandt]

Hi, 

Here's a weird one that I haven't seen before. I figured I'd throw the scenario out here before I did too much research, in case anyone knows what's going on. 

I used to have Live TV on a samba share across GB ethernet to a raid5 array. I lost the array and bought a Drobo as a quick replacement. I threw the Drobo on a Mac Mini and shared it via samba and have working livetv, etc. 

I rebuilt my array and once again shared it via samba. 

If I put live TV on the samba shared raid array, the video is splotchy and stuttering. If I put it on the Drobo, it's fine. 

The Drobo/samba combo transfers data at about 16 MB/s, the RAID5/samba combo transfers data at about 35 MB/s. I'm not sure why I'm getting issues on the faster share. 

Any ideas? 

Thanks, 
Gerald
