<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi CLUEbies,<br>
<br>
Thanks Mark for the link to the unofficial manual. I was reading
through it and since I don't have a pi yet I was wondering about
this from section 8.2 of the manual:<br>
<br>
<pre>8.2 Turn Your Raspberry Pi into a NAS Box</pre>
<pre>We’ve already seen how the Raspberry Pi can be configured as a media centre. One great way to serve media files to your Raspbmc device is with a NAS box – another easy to setup project (assuming you have a second Raspberry Pi).</pre>
<pre>Although not suitable for streaming HD videos (due to the use of the Samba server software), a Raspberry Pi NAS box can be set up as a low-power NAS (see, what NAS is).</pre>
<br>
Why would the use of the Samba server software make this
unsuitable for streaming HD videos? I use samba all the time on
other Linux boxes for all kinds of file server jobs including but
not limited to streaming HD videos.<br>
<br>
I was wondering if anyone out there knew why they would say that.
What is it about the pi, or samba, that makes it unsuitable for
streaming HD videos specifically? Is it just the overall device
slowness? USB latency or something else?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim<br>
