[SOLVED] High Bitrate 4K Movie Unwatchable on Minix U9-H

  • Yes. Very happy it was an easy fix. I had envisaged having to try and replace all my cat5e cables for cat6!

    I can only assume that the cable wasn't quite seated correctly in the switch or may have been dirty and that taking it out and putting it back in must have resolved it.

  • I am also going run this test on my Minix and see where the problem is coming from.


    run ethtool eth0 via ssh and look if duplex & speed are OK

    Should be:

    Speed: 1000Mb/s

    Duplex: Full


    Hope this helps..

  • This my results from testing...

    I think the issue is playing ISO UHD files..

  • Hey Guys, I'm having this issue too. Here is my raw test file from my Gopro Hero 6: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zbc7ztuddzrnz4ufdlkkslksjqehh-qj

    My network is on:

    Speed: 1000Mb/s

    Duplex: Full

    I've also tried directly inserting the sdcard and playing the file/s from there - same issue. Footage starts to play then pauses with a buffering/loading sign.
