ReadyNAS Pro HD Video Playback Issues
I am having problems playing videos on my new Mac Mini that I am using as an HTPC. My NAS is a ReadyNAS Pro (RNDP6000) with 3 x 1 TB hitachi ultrastar (HUA722010CLA330) drives and a 1.5 TB seagate...
I set it up so that i log in as a guest so as to not have any issues with rights, quotas, etc, etc. I have minimal experience setting this kind of stuff up so i tried to simplify this portion of the network.
As far as what i have done today - I set up the connection as an AFP instead of a CIFS connection. I tried different IP address thinking about possible conflicts. I rechecked all the settings on the switch. I drove myself CRAZY with problems with not being able to see the NAS because of an unknown IP conflict.
Nothing. I get somewhat better results, but i get erroring out after 8 minutes of movie watching rather than 2. improvement, yes but not good at all.
I have the latest firmware installed BTW.
I AM CLUELESS as to what in the world could be the problem.
