Here is the post I put on the Lime Forum but I thought I'd post it here too. Thanks in advance for the help.

Now the big problem, it won't seem to work on my Tvix M4000P. I normally use NFS through another server. So now my Unraid is working and I have ISO files on it within other folders that have Icons for Tvix to display. I have the Tvix now set for Samba with it pointing to the user share I created "TvixHD1". For the user share I have it set to Split 0, as I don't understand the differences. I can browse the icons on my Tvix like I normally do and I was able to play one movie and fast forward through it "bourn ultimatum". I went to try another movie as Bourne is a little grainy, which is probably the way they filmed it, and it doesn't play. It says play on the screen then nothing I can hit a few buttons and the command, fast forward, display on the tv but nothing happens. Then the tvix won't respond to any command except power off. I know the tvix is not at fault as I can restart it and point to my old server using NFS and play the exact same movie and it works. What do you think the problem is? I can't even play the one movie I did get to play briefly. I can still browse the icons and hit play but the screen goes black and the time indicator on the Tvix won't advance. After powering down a few times, both unraid and tvix, I got it to play an intro on a dvd then when it went to go to menu it froze again.

I've solved one problem and was able to reformat the san disk and get it to show up as a single drive instead of two separate entities in the mobo bios. Now the parity is re-syncing because I changed to the latest non-beta version V 4.2.4.

Turns out it's probably not my new UnRaid Server but my Samba. I left netshare enabled on my old server, which is windows XP, then tried to watch a movie via NFS, everything works fine. Then I change the settings on my Tvix ONLY to samba and I can scroll through the movies and click on them to play but same thing happens it locks up. Oh I forgot to mention I was on Firmware 2.2.0 for Model M4000P, I upgraded now to 2.2.7 and tried what I did about and same thing nothing. After I power down I can play the beginning of one movie but can't fast forward or goto DVD menu or anything except power or stop. When I press stop it goes back to the videos and if I click on the same movie I tried to watch it goes black and then returns to the video list. Plus it starts at the wrong point in the dvd? Weird and when I press menu it turned on the subtitles but wouldn't turn them off. So I'm confused.

Any help? I start looking at post with problem of tvix using samba.

I have some progress. Turns out Tvix 4000 doesn't like ISO files over samba. Plus I was able to mount a drive on my Windows Server and then direct my Tvix Netshare to that folder. So I was able to get my iso files to play through my new unraid server through a window computer using netshare to my tvix. A round about way but I've got 2 options now on how to use it. I will be calling Tvix Tech support at Digital connection tomorrow and see if there is a work around to the samba iso problem.
