[mythtv-users] Re: Xbox frontend problems with recordings

[Stephen Atkins]

Well I'm happy to report that that seems to have fixed things for now.
It does seem that with a udp nfs to my video/record dir the playback of
the recordings was not good.  With out it mounted it worked fine.  It
now also playes fine with a tcp nfs mount.  Thanks for the sugestion.
