Streaming Over Networking Not Working

**Sugi** · January 30th, 2011

I am streaming files over my network with auto mounting in fstab, but for some reason just recently multiple files in my playlist doesn't work correctly. In totem, it will play the first file file, but the next file doesn't start. It reports the time as 0:00/0:00 and nothing else happens.

Doesn't report any errors or feedback.

totem --no-existing-session

(totem:23705): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell: assertion `tree_view->priv->tree != NULL' failed

Sometimes, I get the following error as well.

** Message: Error: Disconnected: Connection terminated
pulsesink.c(290): gst_pulsering_is_dead (): /GstPlayBin2

In VLC, it reports issues with the playback, it seems to have problems with characters. It will play for a bit, and then reset to the beginning of the movie without audio.

I have finally got an error from totem, but I believe it may not relay any information that is helpful to me. :S

What file-sharing method are you using? I've found NFS offers much better streaming performance than SMB (Samba).

I am using Samba via auto-mounting within fstab, though this kind of problem did not happen before the auto-mounting.

If the server and client are both running Linux, NFS is a better choice.

Sadly, my stuff is being stored on a windows base computer. It's on windows XP. Btw, this didn't happen before the auto-mount. I misspoke in my last comment.

This error doesn't always pop, but it may be linked to the problem.

Code:
