Hello forummers! I only got my RBPI4 two weeks ago so I'm all very new to this. I am running a 4GB model with LibreELEC in Noobs connected to a little gigabit switch. My main goal is to watch movies from the public SMB share of my NAS, which is connected to the same switch so I can leave my laptop connected in my studio.
My NAS isn't the fastest out there, but I'm measuring read/write speeds around 80/40mb/s when I connect my Macbook to the same switch with an ethernet cable.
I thought that should be plenty for 15 to 20gig 2,5h movie files, but from time to time Kodi simply can't play these without buffering every 2 to 10 minutes. With VLC in Raspbian, the files play without any hiccups.
I have already added the advancedsettings.xml file in the "Userdata" folder through SMB, with no succes. Here's how it looks:
