xbian-update scripts is doing that reordering. I hope you don't mind. As using mountall and upstart the order actually does not matter there.

Nope thats fine, didn't know it reordered it. But now I know it does and I won't worry about it.

Quote:PI is not caching videos locally, even XBMC does not (version < 13). only in case of internet sources, there is cache in memory.

as you now specified that the 120MB/s was from raspbmc I remembered that yes, RaspBMC is caching NFS mounts locally - what is quite killing the SD cards but ok. Their choice.

Good to know, another reason I can add to the list of why I would like to get xbian working.

Quote:Taking into account that you have higher NFS transfer speeds with XBian than with RaspBMC then there two options now. Your NAS is not providing sustainable speed over the period while watching movies - and that's why RaspBMC caching is helping there - or it's like Rikardo said.

How big are the BRRips you have? What is the video and audio nitrate?

So the BD Rip of the LOTR I have is pretty big. Its split over two discs (extended version) and each one is around 12 GiB and my dts audio track is 1536 kb/s (according to VLC)

But I've tried other smaller ones. For example I have a Muppets From Space HD video also with DTS that stutters. It is only 720. But the same 1536 kb/s bitrate. The file size is only 6 GiB though.

I hope that made sense. I'm not super familiar with mkv files and bitrates and such things yet. [/quote]

How you did do the sample? Share the info please as it could be useful for others (myself included) as well.

So to make the sample I used the mkvtoolnix package. I use that to create all my mkv files and its pretty versatile.

To make this specific one. I used the MKV Merge GUI. In the "Global" options tab there is an option for splitting. And I just split it at the 2 hour mark. The movie is like 2 hours and 3 minutes. So the 2nd file was just the ending credits.

If people aren't familiar with it, the mkvtoolnix program is pretty awesome.

Just load the video. Go to global tab. And select your splitting options. Then "Start muxing". Super simple. And its cross platform. I run linux, and have only tested it there, but I'm pretty sure it can run on windows and mac osx also
