increase in LAN performance possible?
Dear all,
first of all many thanks to all forum members; with your help my X7 became an almost perfect box!
I use it mainly for Kodi, with the target to reach a high WAF.
With Wasser's 1.0.4 ROM and SPMC based on Kodi 14.1 almost everything runs quite well & stable, with smooth video playback, live TV from a Mediaportal server etc.
There's only one thing I'm not so happy with: the ethernet performance.
I did not yet find any reliable figures about the maximum LAN performance of the X7, personally I get approx. 2 MB/s wired, which is quite similar to what I can get over WLAN.
It is more or less OK for German HDTV and SD movies, but for 1080p HD mkv content from a SMB share (WHS) it is not enough.
Therefore, any buffering tweaks in the advancedsettings.xml are not effective.
I tried some other ROMs in the past months, e.g. with the most current CE 2.2.0 I could get near to 4 MB/s via LAN, which is better but still not what I would like to have.
My (2) question(s):
Is it possible to speed up the LAN performance remarkably?
As there is a difference in LAN performance between the available ROMs, there should be an influence somewhere in the code.
Alternatively, could an USB to LAN adapter be an option?
I already tried 2 different ones (USB3 to 1000 and USB2 to 100) but with no success.
It is simply not possible to access or somehow configure them.
I guess the use of those things need to be foreseen in the ROM upfront?
So if anyone could give me a hint what could be done, I would be happy.
Maybe I'm not the only one with interest in higher LAN performance.
I will for sure survive without having a solution for this, but improving this point could extend the device's lifetime remarkably.
Many thanks in advance,
10fighter

CIFS NFS script for init.d
SuperSU is required!
CIFS
Code:#!/system/bin/sh insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko insmod /system/lib/modules/md4.ko MOUNTS="SAMBA" busybox sleep 20 if [ ! -d /data/media/0/${MOUNTS} ] ; then mkdir /data/media/0/${MOUNTS} fi busybox sleep 40 su --mount-master -c busybox mount -o username=anonymous,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 -t cifs //192.168.1.2/smb /data/media/0/${MOUNTS}
NFS
Code:#!/system/bin/sh MOUNTS="STORE" busybox sleep 30 if [ ! -d /data/media/0/${MOUNTS} ] ; then mkdir /data/media/0/${MOUNTS} fi busybox sleep 30 su --mount-master -c busybox mount -o rw,,nolock,intr,hard,vers=3 -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/store/smb /data/media/0/${MOUNTS}

I get random pauses, with the player going into pause mode, no action in my part.
I have to press the play button to resume
Mildly irritating
Any ideas?
Move the drive to a network computer and share it then use it from Kodi and see what gives. I'm thinking USB port may have issues and doing this would eliminate that?FLHT = Harley

Cause I've been asked.

I found quite early on that my 2.5" 1TB USB-only HDD requires more current than the X7 is able to provide through the USB ports. After connecting the HDD through a powered USB hub with a 2A high-current port all dropouts etc. vanished.
