bowe 1 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 So I got some 4k content playing through EmbyCon and every other minute it giving me the spinning wheel followed by: "source to slow read rate too low for continuous playback". Not sure what the bottleneck is here.. I've played 4k content before without any issues. OS: Coreelec 9.0.3Kodi Version: 18.3 Hardware: Amlogic S905X Internet speed: Download: 317.76 Mbit/s & Upload: 171.34 Mbit/s through usb 3.0 gigabit adapter.

bowe 1 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Strange, how could it be a network issue when its 317 mbps in download speed I've played 4k content before with this setup. I don't have access to the server itself, so might not be able to setup shared network folder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 If you don't have access to the server and it's a remote connection it's possible that the bottleneck is at the end of the other side: The upstream of the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact the server admin/owner they might know what is going on. I did and he didnt find any issues with either network or hardware during the time I was playing content.. Not sure where to look to get this fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) You could ask the owner to setup a iperf test scenario. With iperf3 you are able to test erver with a single threaded connection to see what speed is coming to you. https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php A linux example call from the bash: iperf3 -c speedtest.wtnet.de -p 5202 -P 1 -4 -R It returns something like this: root@serverfred:~# iperf3 -c speedtest.wtnet.de -p 5202 -P 1 -4 -R Connecting to host speedtest.wtnet.de, port 5202 Reverse mode, remote host speedtest.wtnet.de is sending [ 4] local 192.168.2.250 port 51076 connected to 213.209.106.95 port 5202 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 4] 0.00-1.00 sec 51.0 MBytes 428 Mbits/sec [ 4] 1.00-2.00 sec 60.3 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec [ 4] 2.00-3.00 sec 60.2 MBytes 505 Mbits/sec [ 4] 3.00-4.00 sec 60.3 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec [ 4] 4.00-5.00 sec 60.3 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec [ 4] 5.00-6.00 sec 60.3 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec [ 4] 6.00-7.00 sec 60.3 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec [ 4] 7.00-8.00 sec 60.2 MBytes 505 Mbits/sec [ 4] 8.00-9.00 sec 60.3 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec [ 4] 9.00-10.00 sec 60.3 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr [ 4] 0.00-10.00 sec 596 MBytes 500 Mbits/sec 0 sender [ 4] 0.00-10.00 sec 596 MBytes 500 Mbits/sec receiver Iperf is good to see if the connection is stable or the downstream is stable. Faster but without detailed results: Download a movie from the server via the browser. This is using a single threaded connection too and take a look at the download speed if it's dropping sometimes.

bowe 1 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Thanks guys, But tweaking advancedsettings seems to fix the issue. I´ve a amlogic 2GB box and this is my settings: <advancedsettings> <cache> <buffermode>1</buffermode> <memorysize>324880000</memorysize> <readfactor>30</readfactor> </cache> </advancedsettings> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
