Tested AirVideo Server with wine 1.1.12 under gentoo (1.1.12 because its marked as stable for gentoo).

As everybody knows - should know - the server just starts an instance of ffmpeg.exe to encode the video. BUT it only uses _ONE_ cpu core under wine. that is sadly not very close to native as i had expected. so this makes it slower than my "solution" within a virtual machine under kvm, which i mentioned is too slow for highdef videos.

anyone any other ideas ?

P.S. wine and airvideo isnt very stable, after every stopped movie the whole encoding process went insane: it didnt stop but the server itself denys any access.

Best idea would be a native server! Got the same wine problems here. totaly unusable. A virtual maschine is no option for me as it leaks on performance on my server hardware.

Lets start a petition!

Edit: My serverconfig: Debian Etch on Athlon64 3ghz - wine-1.1.15

i gave a try to wine (wine-1.1.15) and it works so far. you have to install the windows java-jre and bonjour for windows with wine. But this is far from stable as the server crashes after the first encode :/

I would vote for the Linux-Server!
