1. PC file sharing works excellently - i have all my PC's on wireless-N, and the TVIX and eTrayz are wired (Cat6) on Gigabit Ethernet to my Linksys router
2. Video streaming to my TVIX works flawlessly like having an internal disk - Gigabit Ethernet works
Sir Raptor can you help with how to link my TVIX with the etrayz? I saw this one in the forum but I don't know where and how I can do this:
1. Logon to the etrayz as root using putty.
2. cd to /etc/samba
3. cp public tvixhd1
4. vi tvixhd1 and change the first line from [PUBLIC] to [TVIXHD1] and leave everything else the same.
5. vi smb.conf and near the bottom where you see: include = /etc/samba/public add: include = /etc/samba/tvixhd1
6. /etc/init.d/smb restart
Part II NFS Share
1. Logon to the web interface of the etrayz as sysadmin then go to Settings->Services->NFS
2. If the NFS Activation checkbox is not already checked, check it and click save.
Then you should see the Export IP list.
3. Enter the IP address of your TViX and click save.
The IP address should now be shown on the list of Registered IPs.
4. Now logon to the etrayz using Putty as root.
5. ln -s /home/Public /tvixhd1
This will create a soft link so that /tvixhd1 points at /home/Public
Now we need to add this name to the exported file systems list.
6. vi /etc/exports
7. Go to the line starting with /home/Public followed by the IP address of your TViX and press yyp
This will make a copy of the line.
8. Insert a # at the beginning of the original /home/Public line
9. On the line you copied, replace /home/Public with /tvixhd1 and save the file.
What was done in these two steps was export /tvixhd1 instead of /home/Public (though they point at the same place) and kept a copy of the original export line just in case you need it again.
10. /etc/init.d/nfs restart
11. ps -ef |grep nfs
See if the four nfsd lines show the current time in the fifth column.
11a. If nfsd didn't restart go back to the web interface and uncheck the NFS Activation checkbox, click save, and then check the NFS Activation check box and click save.
Sir I don't know what a putty is..Is this similar to DOS? How do you logon to the root?
By the way, I tried wired videostreaming of M2TS 40gb file and 1080p mkv files from my den to bedroom. I tried this with the Xtreamer and mede8er and both showed stuttering of the large M2TS files using NET but with the xtreamer using ETRAYZ NO PROBLEM whatsoever. Just don't know why this happened with NET but all in all I'm VERY HAPPY with the streaming using the XTREAMER ETRAYZ network. Thanks to Sir Eric for the inputs. IMO, this machine has already answered my problems with regards to videostreaming for my bedroom.
I also tried its downloading feature using etorrent, I can't find the download speed feature but I think it's fast.
