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

I'm using NFS shares.

Tim_Taylor · April 19, 2018 at 5:14 PM

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

Should be:

Speed: 1000Mb/s

Duplex: Full

No

ethtool eth0

First You have to ssh to Your box

Tyler Durden · April 19, 2018 at 5:23 PM

I can do that.

Log in with username "root" and password "libreelec".

Thanks

You need a little bit more Linux know how

Are You shure Your nfs mounts are properly mounted on OS - nfs mount in KODI is not the best choice.

You wrote You use a Prolient Server as Your NAS - Did You check configuration ?

Tyler Durden · April 19, 2018 at 5:38 PM

My proliant server is running Windows 10. I have Hanewin NFS Server installed and link to the shares in kodi using the standard method.

If there's a better way I'm all ears!

Tyler Durden · April 19, 2018 at 5:39 PM

See my other thread regarding mounting the shares in OS. I'm going to try getting that right first.

nfs.mount not working

OK

This is not a NAS - It´s windows

I tested hanewin nfs server - I was not satisfied

Tyler Durden · April 19, 2018 at 5:52 PM

Ahh, ok. Is there another way you could recommend? Perhaps a different way to create NFS shares in windows or. Perhaps a different OS to install on the server.

Tim_Taylor · April 19, 2018 at 6:13 PM

You can install FreeNAS(based on FreeBSD) on the Proliant server.

Right. First problem found.

I get:

Speed: 100Mb/s

Duplex: Full

Need to try and figure out why it's not running at full speed.

Try to check cable/switch etc.

Tyler Durden · April 19, 2018 at 7:20 PM

Will do. The Ethernet status on the server shows speed at 1.0Gbps, so that's a start.

I'll get my tester out and check the cables.

Tyler Durden · April 19, 2018 at 7:32 PM

Ok. I can't say exactly what I have done as I was only following cables from the lounge to the TP-Link switch that the server is connected to. I disconnected and reconnected them all and ran ethtool eth0 again and now it shows Speed: 1000Mb/s!

I'll do some testing and report back.

Tyler Durden · April 19, 2018 at 7:41 PM

It seems to be cured!

Thanks for all your input.

I'm off to look at mounting shares in OS. See if that helps further.
