unRAID Video streaming performance tests

Ok, thought I would get a head start over my lunch break by reading the installation notes for llink using Linux:

 

http://lundman.net/wiki/index.php/Llink:Linux_installation

 

A lot of these commands are over my head so I was wondering if anybody could tailor these instructions for installing on an UnRAID server?  I saw a similar request here:

 

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2319.msg24059#msg24059

 

but that was over 2 years old and I couldn't locate any documentation so please excuse me if this has already been done.

I have unraid running with 7 wd digital black 1 terrabyte disks (1 disk is a cache disk) on a intel celeron 430. In our household from 4 computers i removed all hd's and put them in the server, and replaced them with a 16gb ssd disk.

 

So all data is pulled from the central unraid server, if i test the read speed it's about 40 Megabyte/s from 1 disk so 320 Megabit's i can stream on all computers at the same time full blu-ray 35 Megabit/s (total 120 Megabyte/s ) and also watch it on my c200 without a hitch. Even when at the same time i download directly with newsbin on the unraid , and my recording computer is recording 2 12 mbit streams simultaneous, and i am unpacking a 40gb unrar on the server with 1 of the computers.

 

It's safe to say that if u have configured the unraid server correctly u will have no problem streaming a single blu-ray stream, all hitching is 99% related to the hardware who is playing it. It's pretty amazing and a compliment for the developer.

 

I do use a cache disk so i am not sure how it will perform without it.

 

Ok, I got llink running between my server and A-110; however, the playback of high bitrate MKV files is actually worse than SMB (more stutter sooner and loss of audio).  Is that even possible?  What else can I do?

As I said before, remux to a Blu-ray BDMV folder or a single m2ts, assuming the MKV is a remux of a Blu-ray.

 

I've never had any problems streaming over http to my A-110, but I don't use MKV. All my rips are Blu-ray BDMV folders.

I'd search the NMT forums RE: MKV if you want to pursue that further, as it's almost certainly an MKV problem with the A-110 and nothing to do with unRAID.

 

My acid test is the Beyonce Live Blu-ray. This has very high bitrate (over 50mbps, PCM uncompressed 5.1 audio and other audio tracks -- it's such a high bitrate, it might even be out of the Blu-ray spec).

It will not stream to the A-110 using Samba, but works over http (llink).

 

Here's the test I did a while back:

Thanks for your help neilt0.  I've come to the same conclusion about the mkv file.  I will try remuxing to a .ts container.

Just a final update on my issue:  A remux to .ts using tsMuxer solved the stuttering problem.  I'm not sure what I may have lost other than chapters.
