Stuttering playback on Intel Bay Trail over NFS/SMB

  • Hello

    Did an update after a long while from a previous < 8 version to git pull from yesterday as I hoped it would fix some crashes on the Minix Z64A platform...

    When playing back a file over NFS share I see after few minutes in the logs:

    10:53:08.293 T:140132057757440 DEBUG: CVideoPlayerVideo::CalcDropRequirement - hurry: 1

    Playing locally from uSD card or USB is fine...

    Has anything been changed in networking since version >= 8.0 ?

    With previous 7.xx version playback was flawless with Bluray ISO rips....

  • Can't be network performance on the device itself...

    When mounting the NFS share directly and doing a "dd" I get:

    LibreELEC:~ # dd if=/var/media/movies/animation/Despicable.me.mkv of=/dev/null

    38298419+1 records in

    38298419+1 records out

    19608790632 bytes (18.3GB) copied, 1598.004412 seconds, 11.7MB/s

  • Seems definitively something broken with kodi's NFS support...

    When playing the same movie from a locally mounted NFS share it plays just fine...

    Just few of those messages here and there:
