In this article, we will talk about the best software available for Linux that you can use as a media player or media server – according to your requirements. In fact, setting up a media server is one of the most common DIY Raspberry Pi projects. You can even use a media server to stream your content to other devices on your network. You have probably heard of media servers? Basically, this software allows you to view your local or cloud media (music, videos, etc.) through an intuitive interface – sometimes involving dedicated gadgets. Instead of talking about creating new digital content, let’s talk about consuming it.
This time, it’s going to be slightly different.
We have covered numerous such tools here. You also get access to many essential applications on Linux, in case you want to use it as your daily driver for work. This should all be based on the speak of my router (the Apple Time Capsule), so I can't figure out what's slowing things down.Were you told that Linux is just for programmers? That is so wrong! It also has numerous great tools for digital artists, writers, and musicians. Since this is all happening on my local network and not actually going over the internet, my internet speed (which is fairly high) should come into play here, if I understand things correctly. What I would really prefer is simply to stream my videos "as is" without any transcoding or muxing done, but the low peak bitrate issue is the priority here as there's no way my xbox, time capsule and macbook are only able to communicate at 7Mb/s when I get much faster speeds then that when gaming over the internet. It also doesn't seem to matter what I set the Maximum Bandwidth to under General Configuration. I've tried adjusting the video quality settings down to keyint=25:vqmax=7:vqmin=2, which seems to help a little bit but I think the issue is more with it not opening up enough bandwidth, rather than being unable to keep up with quality. I have my Xbox port forwarded on the Time Capsule, and I have ports 50 (found that somewhere else) forwarded as well. It will play for half a second then freeze for 2 or 3 seconds, and that's the best I can get. I've been trying to stream from my Macbook Pro to the Xbox 360 but no matter what I do I keep getting a peak bitrate of 5-7 Mb/s so the video is so choppy as to be completely unwatchable. Hi, I have a Macbook Pro, Apple Time Capsule (functionally the same as an Airport Extreme) and an Xbox 360.
