Emby for Kodi Sync Addon. Playback question.

Hi guy's,

 

What's better for server CPU load? Streaming the file using http or samba share? Or is there not much in it.

 

Server is running Linux, if that's helps.

Direct play over network rather than via your server. But there’s isn’t much of a difference if you play via your server without any file modification (transcode).

Thanks for the information, I was wondering if Samba or HTTP stream had more overhead but if its the same, I'll go set my all Kodi Players to HTTP then. Less to go wrong that way.
