What server software have you tried? I'm using serviio on a mac but would expect the linux version to be equivalent, with an assortment of players (ps3, sony blu-ray player, vlc on an ipad, etc.). The trick with video is to be sure it is encoded in a format the player can handle directly so the server isn't transcoding on the fly. And avoid wifi if possible. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
