[mythtv-users] Videos over 2GB - Xine & MPlayer Problems

[Brian Donaldson]

Jarod was right.  My videos were stored on a Win2K box and I was
connecting to them using samba.  I installed Microsoft Services for
Unix (w/NFS Server) on the Win2K box and connected to it via NFS from
my MythTV box.  Now videos over 2GB work just fine.

Thank you for your help Jarod.

Brian
