I use hanewin (http://www.hanewin.net/nfs-e.htm). It's not free, but you can trial it free for a while (a month?) Setup instructions: http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=6285 RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi - onetootreefor - 2013-04-03 thanks! got it all setup and nfs works fine...i can find my shares and play movies, but with that specific movie (the only one i have tested yet) it still buffers...pretty much in the same spots of the movie. This movie did play pretty smoothly with the <freememorycachepercent> maybe its something to do with the encode? i have a more detailed info on the video stream here it is: Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : [email protected] Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 4 frames Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration : 1h 33mn Bit rate : 21.0 Mbps Width : 1 920 pixels Height : 1 080 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate : 24.000 fps Original frame rate : 23.976 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.422 Stream size : 13.4 GiB (91%) Writing library : x264 core 128 r2216 198a7ea Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:-3:-3 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.20:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=48 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=0 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=12 / lookahead_threads=2 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=6 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=240 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=192 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=21000 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.80 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:0.75 Language : English RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi - rbej - 2013-04-04 Frodo Branch updated - updated firmware and kernel - updated new scheme buffering and stalling - updated sync up OmxPlayer with dvdplayer master changes - add buffering to video renderers - add ensure GPU does resize when caching thumbnails patch http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=140518&pid=1350100#pid1350100 RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi - popcornmix - 2013-04-04 (2013-04-04, 11:27)rbej Wrote: - add ensure GPU does resize when caching thumbnails patchThis is this patch: https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/commit/93864cdc3bbbaefb8225f93aeb99a01939595c7b If you want to test, then scraping library is the best way, although any jpegs displayed for the first time will use this code. It should be a little quicker, and could result in better quality thumbnails (resized once, rather than twice).

RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi - tymoxa - 2013-04-04 With latest build i have broken wi-fi.

RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi - Doktor-X - 2013-04-04 i'm planing to buy this adapter so that i can use my old dvd drive is this supported on openelec RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi - onetootreefor - 2013-04-04 ok i have done some testing today on my buffer issue. I connected my media pc (windows7) directly into my router via 1Gbps ethernet. No buffer...no buffer on NFS or SMB or ANYTHING.... GREAT NEWS! I hooked up my wireless adapter on the win7 media pc which is sitting directly next to the router. I have a full 300Mbps connection. It buffers like crazy on any movie with a video stream larger than 10Mbps. Doesnt matter if its via smb or nfs. i tried both via ethernet and both via 300Mpbs wireless. This makes NO SENSE...the wireless connection is surely strong enough to handle a 10Mbps video stream, but why will it only work when I connect it via 1Gbps ethernet? My media pc usually sits in a room 2 away from my raspi/router/tv. and it still gets a strong 240Mbps connection in there. Can anyone explain this?

Wireless networks tend to have higher latency than wired networks, so even at the same bandwidth the wireless will feel slower. In your case, the bigger issue is likely that wireless also requires more processing overhead for error checking and correction than wired. I'm using MoCA adapters to extend wired connections over the coaxial in my home. Even with an effective bandwidth cap of 100Mbps in that setup, I get much better performance than my 300Mbps wireless. Powerline adapters are another option but my understanding is that in some conditions those can be just as problematic as wireless. RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi - onetootreefor - 2013-04-04 thats great and all, but this still boils down to when we were using <freememorycachepercent> i wasnt having these issues, and also I can stream from my win7 pc via wireless (~240Mbps) to my macbook pro via wireless (~300Mpbs) connected to hdmi on my tv and run xbmc and play movies just fine no buffering, but when I use the raspi and openelec I run into these buffer issues. I can understand that my macbook pro decodes video better than the raspi and has a larger capacity for buffering larger files, but movies with a 12Mbps - 21 Mbps video stream shouldnt be a problem for the pi since it can handle it fine on a 1Gbps ethernet. in reality a network stream effectively 30x larger than the video stream it shouldnt have a problem streaming the video wirelessly with the latency and error checking or not.

If not, as I understand it, neither freememorycachepercent not cachemembuffersize should impact files from network shares. Note: I'm not challenging you with that statement, more looking to the experts to confirm or broaden my understanding of how it works. RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi - onetootreefor - 2013-04-04 i did have it enabled to true, as i was using smb at the time of using the freememorycachepercent. I only recently switched to nfs based on another user's suggestionn. i also increased the default freememorycachepercent from 5 to the max 8 |
