Iam back with news.
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.

unfortunately wine isn't very stable

First of all: you guys did a great job in developing this software which was requested by the community for so long.

i would appreciate a linux server version too!
many many people are running linux at home as storage device. some dual oder quad cores with tbytes of diskspace.
i tried to run the server unter a winxp sp2 vm via kvm, but what should i say ? its a bit too slow to convert 1080p movies on the fly. here i really really appreciate a native linux version!

the little nas boxes (negear, qnap and something out there) shouldnt be supported, because they arent powerful enough to convert the movies.

please guys, make it real
