Is there anyone working on this or are there any existing builds?

I can't understand why you would use SMB regardless of the transfer speeds you get as it gives a performance loss for both your server and the Amlogic box compared to NFS... It should be illegal to use SMB for transfering between unix systems if you ask me!

[SNIPPED]

With large files NFS has not so much more advantage...

So, you should definitely setup NFS and use it instead. Especially if you think the SMB version in the build is the problem... You'll get a performance increase for both the server and the Minux box, and hopefully your problem is solved. SMB should only be used if you are so unfortunate and have a windows system - yet it doesn't change the fact that you should use NFS in addition between unix systems.

Here is a great guide which should help you to setup NFS correctly - https://kodi.wiki/view/nfs

I bet there are plenty of guides and threads about this in the forum if you need any assistance

PS: I've a cheap Amlogic box with 100 mbit connection and I've an average throughput of 11.5-12 MB/s with NFS, which is a huge difference compared to 8.5-8.9 MB/s if you ask me... And with a Gbit adapter I can play 300 Mbit clips (Jellyfish as an example) without stuttering, which I probably wouldn't if I used SMB.

Your understanding is wrong, so I´ll tell you about my setup.

Before I was running the same on an Intel NUC without any problems whatsoever. Now I got this Minix Box to replace the NUC.

So into this Minix Box there is a 10 Port Powered USB HUB plugged in. Into this HUB there a 10 2.5" Hard drives plugged in,, all between 2 and 4 TB each. That makes a total Storage for me of 32TB.

On my other machine (Linux), I rip the Movies and Music from Bluyray and CD respectively.

After ripping I just want to move them over to the Hard drives plugged into the Minix Box.

That works fine with Samba and the speed is acceptable but not for files bigger than 2GB which ALL the Bluray Movies are. Its a pain in the ass to tranfer a 50GB file over with SFTP. It takes 1 day.

SO basically I told you that I like Audi and I want to buy an Audi but the Navigation is broken and how to fix it. Then you come and tell me to buy an BMW on which the Nagivation works.....

Have you tried with NFS? If not, you should as NFS is faster and much less load-demanding than SMB. And it might help you with your problem as well.

Otherwise, have you tried to mound SMB via OS and not in Kodi?

I get about 8.5-8.9MB/s transfer speeds with Samba because I only have a 100MBit Switch. So its good enough. Point is that there is something wrong with the Samba version of wrxtasy libreelec allowing only transfers of < 2GB files.

If I would have mounted the Sambashares in Kodi and and not in Libreelec I wouldnt have been able to transfer anything.

I am running wrxtasy ´s LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2.4.1.force.444.10bit on a Minix 9U-H.

All works perfectly for me but not Samba.

Its not possible to copy over a file from another Linux Machine bigger than 2GB. If I copy the same file onto a Nuc with Samba there is no problem at all. I´ve searched everywhere for a solution but not avail.

However, if I use SFTP I can transfer files 2GB+ without problems. But SFTP is not an option because its too slow.
