I could not get this to work. Specifically, game emulators seemed to have dependencies on other pluggins (gamestarter?) and the configuration og the IARL launcher is unclear to me (which parameters should be set for librelec / RPi3 ?).

Are they any more detailed instructions available?

Have you tried a 4.10 kernel build? It probably will have the same issue, but is worth trying in case something additional has been fixed.

If testing packet schedulers, did you have a look at Cake: https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/Cake ?

I only included the Fair Queue change as it's required by CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BBR introduced in #0117. The latter might give better results over poor connections.

Quote:BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT) TCP congestion control aims to maximize network utilization and minimize queues. It builds an explicit model of the the bottleneck delivery rate and path round-trip propagation delay. It tolerates packet loss and delay unrelated to congestion. It can operate over LAN, WAN, cellular, wifi, or cable modem links. It can coexist with flows that use loss-based congestion control, and can operate with shallow buffers, deep buffers, bufferbloat, policers, or AQM schemes that do not provide a delay signal. It requires the fq ("Fair Queue") pacing packet scheduler.

I haven't tested it much myself but I don't recall having to set any IARL parameters. I installed a couple of emulators (Atari Lynx Handy, SNES) and didn't have any dependency issue. Which game emulators are you having problems with?

It is probably placebo, although there is a network tweak that could be beneficial.

It might be worth switching back to previous build to try to confirm this.

Anyone else seeing a difference?

I can confirm thumbnail extraction is working again with devel-20170124211527-#0124-g637b8c0 [Build #0124]

Out of curiosity, why is this commit no longer part of the build? I was glad seeing plugin-caching restored.
