optimal Port-Settings XBMC & HTPC? - Bladerunner1962 - 2012-06-07 Hello, I have some issues with slow datatransfer for 1. transfer movie information/thumbnails to my Ipad XBMC remote apps 2. on-the-fly-streaming from my HTPC to other devices Everything LAN/WLAN action is to slow on the HTPC in comparison to same workflows on my PC. The HTPC is a Lenovo Q180 with Gigabyte LAN. I get a tipp, that the speed problem depends perhaps on not optimal port settings in XBMC; in XBMC I selected the port 80. Do you have some tipps for me, how I should set up the port in XBMC and on my HTPC in order to increase lan/wlan speed? Is there a software for testing or improving? RE: optimal Port-Settings XBMC & HTPC? - kricker - 2012-06-07 XBMC relies on the hos OS for all networking features. If you are having throughput issues I doubt XBMC is the culprit. You should really test your OS's networking. There are tools available. I recently found one that is quite simple to use and gives a good test of network throughput. NetIO You will run it from a command line. On the server side you run it with "netio.exe -s". On the client side you run it with "netio.exe -t server", where server is the name or ip address of the server running netio. I ran the Linux version on my Unraid server in server mode and the Windows version on my client PCs to test the throughput and find weak spots in the network. |
