[QUOTE="joker454, post: 982554, member: 140407"] Thanks :) Made some more progress. I installed BlueHarvest and it works well, it deleted extraneous files from the raid unit. You can just right click a network drive and have it remove all AppleDouble files from it. It still didn't delete that .temporaryitems folder in the root though, but for now I just added that folder to the exclude list on my backups and they seem to work. From what I've googled, it seems like it Osx will create only one .temporaryitems folder per drive. If that's the case then no biggie, I won't worry about it, but I'll keep an eye on things to make sure that is indeed the case. I'm leaving BlueHarvest running to see how it handles the AppleDouble files in day to day use. I found this article as well: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1629]Mac OS X v10.4 and later: How to prevent .DS_Store file creation over network connections[/url] ...which shows how to prevent DS_Store files from being written to network drives so I have done that also. Hopefully the 'Apple Dust' as it seems to be called is now over. For video playback, I'm running the videos over wifi, haven't tried wired since it's a laptop. I ran the console though and noticed these errors output when I would get stutters during wmv playback from the raid drive: 1/18/10 12:05:44 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 1000 ms 1/18/10 12:05:44 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called 1/18/10 12:05:49 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 1586 ms 1/18/10 12:05:49 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called 1/18/10 12:05:58 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 1642 ms 1/18/10 12:05:58 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called 1/18/10 12:06:03 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 1719 ms 1/18/10 12:06:03 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called 1/18/10 12:06:09 AM [0x0-0x47f47f].org.videolan.vlc[19355] [0x2bff38] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 2668 ms ...etc. Not sure what they mean though, but their output to console seemed to correspond directly with stutters in playback.
