Hey guys
I'm yet again looking at trying to stream my media around the house and finaly, i think im right on the edge of doing it
Ok, so I have a self-ripped blu-ray thats about 15gig in size that I have always used as my maximum benchmark and its always failed horribly within the first minute. Tonight however, it played for a good couple of minutes with almost no pre-buffer time!
So, I think the bandwidth is ALMOST there BUT, im using SMB. Is there an easy way to get windows Vista (actually, Windows 7) to use a quicker network protocol?
(I've tried all these transcoders but none play all the formats so I really don't want to a*&e around with this solution anymore.)
The server is a Windows 7 I7 6gig ram system (need help with this serving protocol)
The client is a Core 2 Duo laptop (running KMPlayer (awesome! Spanks VLC))
All running over a 1gig home network APART from the pants 200meg home plugs
So, can you suggest a better protocol/method to share that doesn't require re-encoding or transcoding?
Many thanks!!!!!!
