I have two PCs one win7 and the other xbmcubuntu on two networks each with 3tb drives (with the same movies). I now have two rasbbery pi and I want to turn the xbmcuntu machine into a media server, with two 3tb with one copy of each movie I own. so what do you use?
 
It turns out that the pi can't pass though hd audio, so I be keeping the xbmcuntu box in the living room and use a pi upstairs as planned. Kind of ruined my plans of getting rid of AV clutter.
 
That depends how determined you are ;-) the hardware is certainly capable of it.
how determined do you need to be?

Also a hammer is going to need with the pi. I got a share working can't rember if it was smb or what but when I play a movie on the pi it keeps buffering every 2-3mins, pc in the same room can play it fine. Problem is I can only spend 20-30 mins here and there, I need a guide or something or better still a magic little box that works out the box.


On a side note I found my old xbox with xbmc but that has no hdmi:rolleyes:
