<div class="Section1">
<p class="MsoNormal">My Myth setup is spread across two locations.<br>
I have a primary backend with 4 clients connected to it at my house.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a friend with a secondary backend approx 1km away connected via a WiFi link. We have a stable 24Mbps link which supports watching TV no problems at all. We also use the link for a shared internet connection and telephone calls. We
both have large video and music collections that we share.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My friend has 3 clients at his end.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My problem is that the 3 clients at his end connect to my server and stream TV from my box, this is really not ideal because if a show was recorded at his end, it is pulling it in two directions over the link.<br>
We would like to setup our system so that it uses the minimum bandwidth possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried using NFS shares mounted on his backend so the clients stream via NFS but it’s a little glitchy, I’ve tried every permutation and combination of nfs settings but it just doesn’t seem like its geared up for streaming media over
remote links like this. When I set his clients to stream all traffic over the link using a direct Mythtv connection, its actually smooth with no glitches, its just it’s a total waste of bandwidth and very inefficient.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
We use storage groups so that shows he wants to record are kept locally and vice versa, I have a Pay TV connection and the way it is setup is for Pay TV shows he records, will be saved down to his backend based on storage group preference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Its all working very well apart from the client streaming side of things.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I briefly changed to SSHFS to link the servers together which was stable but it does not support multiple things happening at the same time very well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NFS works fine, but is just a little too glitchy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I really want is to be able to connect his clients to his secondary backend so that the media is streamed using the Mythtv protocol via his backend.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this at all possible?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are there any other tricks anyone can recommend for me to give this a go. I feel I’m so close to a workable system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Toby<o:p></o:p></p>
