- since you changed the checksize I'm able to play blurays with high bitrate without stuttering via a direct 100 mbit connection (HPProliant Gen10 server running libreelec 8.2.2 as smb server -> switch -> raspberryPi2 with increased read buffer settings in advancedsettings.xml). Great! Before that, there was constant stuttering every 20-30 seconds (esp. 3D ISO blurays/high bitrate)
- But the larger chunks also lead to a slow initial reading of the bluray (so it takes approx. 2 minutes to start a bluray - which I think is logical as small R/W cycles are slowed down by large chunks). Question: is it possible to open the smb connection with small chunk size for reading the iso file structure and then reinstantate the smb connection with the correct (large) check size so highbit media plays flawlessly via smb?
Yes, that was my fear.
I've changed the chunk size to 32K which was the smallest value that fixed smp1's issue.
Let us know if that helps bluray open time and if it's also okay for high bitrate stuttering.
