    @kszaq:Suspend works, but the issue i have is with Wifi when coming back from suspend Wifi doesn't work anymore, if i gi to libreelec settings, it tells me that Wifi is connected, so i cut connection and then reconnect, after that everything is fine, didn't test with cable connection.

    Device: Leelbox MXQ Pro 4k 1G/8G

    MiniMX 0925 dev build.
    Suspend work for me too.. I set up cec to when i turn ooff tv, then make suspend to minimx. Thats work, but is any settings to turn on from suspend, when i turning on my tv?
    With own remote can i switch on from suspend, but itt better when turning on with system.

    This symptom you describe Dropping CEC has been an issue since OpeELEC .
    I know this, because i have been using and testing all kszaq's builds from back then till now.
    So take it on board.
    Your ambiguous cheap shot comment about me being wrong before is not really necessary.
    Myself and long time members try and help anyone we can as kszaq cant be expected to do it all.
    Good luck with your CEC issue.

    I use kszaq's build from freaktab's forum slowly 2 years long. I haved then s805. Many times try to help testing to kszaq, with many times success.
    I use amlogic too from openelec 5.
    Dont want to quarrel, so let bygones be bygones


    Have two boxes, on both there is nnoticeble lower smoothness of KODI GUI comparing to android build. The Libreelec is still far better overal against Android but still, the stuttering/cutting in the GUI scrolling left and right in menus dont look very representative. Can be something done about menus smoothness or do you know where the problem is?
    Thank you! :)

    What box?
    What version of libreelec?
    What video output mode use? (1080p60?)

    The latest libreelec (7.0.2.007), when the video output more than 50p (50p,60p) must be fluid enough.

    Good news: all of my aspect ratios perfect :)
    Bad news: sound gone. Or no sound, or very distorted ununderstandable. I tried videos/channels with ac3,mp2,aac,dts,dts-hd, with settings passtrough on,and off.
    There is some big problem w audio

    XJdM

    Maybe change iec958 hdmi audio from PCM16_RAW to PCM32 is the problem?
    Maybe audio decoder settings

    Known issues:
    CEC might not work when your box has incomplatible u-boot or your TV is not that well supported by Amlogic low-level CEC driver.
    Please read changelog before posting a known issue as a BUG

    Kostaman:
    CEC work at me!
    U-boot for minimx is perfect.
    Tv is supported. All function properly operate.
    I know Changelog.
    My problem is: the WORKING CEC stopped working after a time.
    Please read my post carefully.
    Not this is your first mistake :)
    Forget it :)

    Thanks, I test it.

    Have 2 MiniMX with nand installed LE 7.0.2.007
    I use it 2 different system.
    First LG 60pa660s plasma, and Onkyo TX-NR3008 avr
    Second LG55UB820V 4K lcd, and Onkyo TX-NR555 avr
    With other sources i don't have problem with CEC control.
    So when reboot, or turning on MiniMX, then CEC work flawlessly, but after a while i lost control possibility over CEC. When i restart device CEC working again.
    Sometimes it working more days, sometimes i lost CEC after 30 minutes.
    I attach log, and dmesg pastebinit.

    I used my MiniMX before at 1080p60hz gui because then so smooth the gui, and worked for me all the 23.976,24,25,30,50,60 hz. When i warched movie with 23.976 the avr and tv info showed me 23hz
    Because i watch tv too with minimx, what is 50hz in europe , i decided better set up gui to 1080p50 because then not change frequency when i watch tv when i switch back to gui, and back to live tv.
    I set to 1080p50 the gui , and leave start/stop the auto frequency change.
    After that live tv and gui has the same speed, but i noticed, moovies with 23.976 sometimes stutter a little. I see my avr-s and tv-s info panel, and see, the 23.976 film played at 24 hz.
    I try everything, restart, renistall, and i thinking what changed before...
    I figured out, just gui frequency changed only, i set back to gui 1080p60hz, and voila...
    23.976 work again.

    so when gui 1080p50hz
    23.976hz movie played at 24 hz
    24 hz movie played 24 hz too.

    when gui setted to 1080p60hz
    23.976 movie plaayed at 23.976
    24 hz movie played 24hz

    dmesg pastebinit:

    Full log attached

    Updated :
    I wrote this when 7.0.2.007 was available, but sadly no positive result until 7.0.2.012G.

    So..
    From pc to minimx 82MB/s
    From NAS to minimx 42 MB/s
    From NAS to PC 90MB/s
    From other PC to PC 104MB/s
    I SSH to NAS too, and see cpu usage %
    The smbd process on my nas 30-40% when copy to MiniMX, and 80% when copy to PC.
    It seems , i dont know why the MiniMX not working enough fast, when copy from NAS. Interestly when copy from PC, then perform twice good.
    Why?


    Hi,

    if NFS performs so much better than CIFS, the problem is most likely not the hardware or the network driver. 40 MB/s is a good value, given the limited CPU in the MiniMX box.

    You can try to further tune the CIFS mount parameters: I did use the default with no options and had good performance, you can try leaving them out or using other values. I found several forum discussions about slow CIFS, and there rsize=16384,wsize=57344 was recommended to be used in a gigabit environment.

    The is no speed test for the GUI. But please try one more thing: connect with two sessions using ssh and watch the cpu load during a long file transfer (using "top").

    CPU 2-3%
    The speed with this parameters worst than without prameters
    MiniMX:~ # umount /storage/test
    umount: can't unmount /storage/test: Invalid argument
    MiniMX:~ # mount -t cifs -o username=admin,rsize=16384,wsize=57344 //192.168.1.3
    /Public /storage/test
    MiniMX:~ # dd if=/storage/test/lib.img of=/dev/null bs=1M
    548+0 records in
    548+0 records out
    574619648 bytes (548.0MB) copied, 32.524298 seconds, 16.8MB/s
    MiniMX:~ #

    mount without rsize,wsize i reach 40-42MB/s with 3-4% cpu
    mount nfs 68MB/s with 3-4% cpu

    I think the problem is with nas, but then why makes to me with windows machine 90+MB/s copy speed to real ssd storage, not just /dev/null, as miniMX
    Maybe other version of cifs use windows computer?
    Or use other protocol?
    Is samba mount in minimx?
    I have friend at other forum, he has minimx with 005 or 006 revision of libreelec, and with other nas he can more than 100MB/s transfer test to /dev/null
    [hr]
    I share a directory on my pc, and i mount to miniMX.
    Without wsize, rsize it can copy 82MB/s to /dev/null
    with parameters it can 9MB/s

    Thats something wrong with NAS i think, but i dont understand then why can i copy the same file from my nas to my desktop/notebook windows pc at 90+MB/s?
    I have Asus RT-AC56U router, and switch setting:
    Jumbo frame- disable
    nat acceleration: disable
    spanning-tree protocol: enable
    Is that correct?

    When i copy from nas to /dev/null then not matter eMMC speed !
    I tried with switch, same result
    average 40MB/s is the speed to /dev/null
    I tried mount my NAS as nfs server, then i reach 69MB/s
    I dont understand cifs why not work as fast my windows pc. Copy to /dev/null not slowdown the speed.
    I have friend from other forum. He have miniMX, and reach 100MB/s from nas copy to /dev/null (he has 005 or 006 installed)
    I dont know it is nas problem, or wrong parameter to mount, or MiniMX?

    Is any way to try copy speed at gui instead ssh?
    The /dev/null i cannot mount at kodi :)


    Definitely try and do a speedtest using iperf (or iperf3) just to check.

    On my 100mbit S905 box I'm able to max it with results of 95+ mbit/s.

    If you're connected to the same switch as the other systems with good performance then you'll be OK there but I have seen some gigabit routers having poor network speeds.

    My router is Asus RT-AC56U router with latest merlin fw.
    With my desktop, and notebook with windows always reach 100MB/s speed with this router.
    Tomorrow i try to connect switch my nas, and minimx,
    I have wetek play, and i do the same dev/null test:

    [hr]
    I played.
    Mount share directory from wetek play, and from other minimx.
    Then copx to dev/null to 9 and 43 MB/s
    Then mount again my wdmycloud, but without rsize parameter:
    mount -t cifs -o username=admin //192.168.1.3/Public /storage/test
    Then copy to dev/null with 32MB/s, what is better result.
    What is the best mounting option to my wdmycloud?

    Sorry I did not understand that you move files to and from the NAS. The problem could be duplex then - I still recommend to try to read from SMB to /dev/null to see if it is working if only one direction is active.

    Dev null:

    Eth:

    My NAS is WDMyCloud with gigabit, and with pc, and notebook i can read from nas 80-100MB/s
    [hr]
    My slow laptop copy to ssd from nas the same file:

    I have 2 MiniMX 1/8GB with latest libreelec on nand.
    The ethernet adapter show working at 1000M (gigabit):

    But the copy speed is dramatically slow.
    I have gigabit nas (WDMyCloud), and i try one file copy from nas to nas. Size 548MB
    My desktop PC (Intel xeon e5450, abit ip35 with built in gigabit ethernet) made it 20 second, my laptop Intel Pentium N3540 with realtek gigabit ethernet made it 40 second, MiniMX made it 120 second!
    I try from nas to nand too, but with the same result. I try the copied file from nand copy back to nas with same result.
    I try without, and with wsize, no significant result.

    Why so bad the network performance?
    How can i speed up it? I try change ethernet cables from desktop and from notebook to minimx, but no result. With every cable, every device make always the speed what before, so no change, it's not cable fault.
