[8.90.11a] LibreELEC 9.x for S912

    but the problem is that the video slows down and the sound disappears

    SMB protocol is a problem.

    I tested a lot:

    local HDD/SSD - works

    local USB stick - works, but makes no sense

    Gbit network connect to PC-Share running WIN10 - 1080p works - 4k stuttering, slow down etc. -> bad

    Gbit network connect to Mac-Share(SMB) running MacOs - 1080p works - 4k -> bad

    Gbit network connect to NAS(NFS) - works

    Gbit network connect to NAS(SMB) - 1080p works - 4k -> bad

    NFS via Kodi - crap!

    Mount NFS export folder into a local for LE one, then present it to Kodi. ;)

    I don´t see a big difference in practice using Gbit network

    I´ve checked it out - videos aren´t playing better after local NFS mount.

    Maybe it works in some cases using fast ethernet only

    Well,

    my humble experience with S905/S905X/S912 boxes has showed that when playing content from NFS mounted via Kodi - the box freezes on 10-15 minute. Regardless of cache settings. No such issue in comparison with SMB3, same cache settings, same source server.

    When OS (LE) is mounting NFS to a local folder - no such issues observed. See this thread. :)

    Also,

    I could not distinguish a big difference in performace/throughput between NFS3 and SMB3... /shrug

    what and where should I copy?

    Thank you

    You have to make a local folder,

    add the following into .config/autostart.sh, for example:

    Code
    mkdir -p /storage/MEDIA
sleep 10 (or sleep 15, or more, empirically discovered value)
mount -t nfs <IP_of_the_source_server>:</NFS_export_folder> /storage/MEDIA

    Of course,

    you can mount NFS shared folders to existing, pre-built ones, like /storage/videos, /storage/music and etc. :)

    In my case there is no advantage - none of my boxes freezes when playing contend from NAS

    All my boxes playing videos every day - but I use Gbit network

    I also do not use 100Mbit copper, except on management interfaces, limited to it. :)

    Each (infrastructure) solution has its specifics.

    That's why we're looking for resolutions (workarounds, at least) and this is one of them.

    Each has to decide if it suits the needs, but at least it's been made publicly available to try it. :)

    There is nothing to copy :!:

    You can mount NFS/SMB/CIFS via command line

    Example:

    mount -t nfs 192.168.x.x:/c/backup /storage/mnt -o nolock

    There are many options, but first You have enbale NFS on time machine

    Quote from ChimeyJimmey

    Do you have /c/backup on your time capsule?

    Do you have /storage/mnt on your LE box?

    Are you sure that NFS service is properly set on your time capsule?

    LibreELEC:~ # mount -t nfs ip capsule:/Data/films/storage/mnt -o nolock

    mount: can't find ip capsule:/Data/films/storage/mnt in /etc/fstab

    LibreELEC:~ #

    ip capsule is not a valid entry

    It should be a command like this:

    mount -t nfs 192.x.x.x:/Data/films/storage/mnt /target -o nolock

    where 192.x.x.x must be replaced with IP of time machine and where traget is local path on the box e.g. /storage/mnt
