#Smbup manage users windows 10#
I set up password protected sharing of my user folder in Windows 10 using SMB. The two "computers" share an ethernet connection, but are assigned different IP addresses and look, for all intents and purposes, as two separate computers. I ran the emulator Parallels with Windows 10 running as a virtual machine on my Mac. This evening I was able to test out Windows 10 as a server on my Network. This again would suggest that there are video buffering issues with the Zidoo External Player. And the audio kept sync, unlike the external player's audio out-of sync playback. But there was none of the video stuttering as with the ZDMC external player. The video quality was not at good as the external player without native video resolution change. The video playback back slightly choppy, but consistent.

However, when I applied those settings to Kodi Krypton beta 5, playback actually improved providing I did not uses too complex a setting that the Android 6 CPU could not handle. In fact it may playback worse since that memory was allocated to a buffer that was not available to the external player. In any case since ZDMC uses an external player for Video/Audio playback, setting or increasing the video cache that ZDMC uses through the advancedsettings.xml in the USERDATA folder had no positive effect. It is safe to assume that the MacPro can easily stream sources via NFS or SMB at fast enough speed without loosing integrity, and as I suggested, the X9S has serious buffering issues with even much slower streaming rates, especially with NFS.Ĭlick to expand.Interesting suggestion. but in this case there was no buffering errors and no video stuttering (Dune Players will actually also show how many buffer under-runs occur, which none did). Then using my Dune Solo 4K with faster hardware the maximum streaming speed was 144.1 Mbits/sec using the same 4K HVEC source (Ender's Game).

The Vten showed buffering errors with video stuttering only at that maximum streaming speed, similar to what the X9S does during regular blu-ray movie streaming at about 40 to 45 Mbits/sec. The VTen does that, and using 4K movies my maximum speed was about 140 Mbits/sec on my network using a HVEC 4K movie source (Ender's Game). So why so much problems with my MacPro and NFS.Ĭlick to expand.The only way I have to test my NFS network speed is to use Media Streamers that show the instantaneous speed on my Network in Mbits/sec. And other people have no problems streaming with SMB. I have seen others report buffering issues, particularly with 4K sources. What is also peculiar is that none of my other media streamers (Q10 Pro, NUC with Windows 10, Dune Solo 4K, AppleTv 4, Vten, Zappiti Player 4K) show any of these buffering issues running on the same network connected to my MacPro.
I have only been able to setup Kodi/ZDMC using mounted favorite NFS shares list in the mnt/nfs folder on the root directory (frustrating). And Kodi can find the NFS directory, but cannot enter into any of the folders in the drives.

Unfortunately I have not figured out how to connect Kodi (or ZDMC) to my MacPro via the Mac's native SMB - I keep on getting broken pipe errors. If I play the same movies from a ExFAT formatted USB Stick, they play fine. I have even got a replacement Zidoo X9S to verify that the issue was not hardware based (the replacement had the same buffering problems). If I use SMBup on my MacPro to make the Mac's SMB more "compatible", playback is improved, but buffering issues still are present. The buffering issues are present with the Media Center player, or using ZDMC and the external player.
The higher the bitrate encoding or more complex the playback (for instance VC1 movies, or movies with Dolby Atmos Soundtracks) the worse the buffering issues. I am using firmware 1.2.6.īut when I tried to playback any lossless blu-ray MKV rip, the Zidoo had horrible video stuttering. And NFS sharing has less overhead than SMB. I mainly choose NFS since the MacOS SMB (in Sierra 10.12 or earlier) is not very compatible with other devices. And all connections are through Cat 6 Gigabyte Ethernet cables and switches. My streaming source is a Late 2013 MacPro. However it seems that the Zidoo X9S has significant playback issues (presume streaming) with high bit rate lossless blu-ray rips. I just recently purchased a Zidoo X9S based on very promising positive playback reviews.
