Does anyone have the Pi 2 running large video files from a network smoothly? I've got it running 1.5GB files well enough but I've tried a 6GB which looks like it'll require at least 10 minutes of buffering to play without stopping and even then I don't know for how long. Is it my terrible internet causing the problem or is it the limitations of the Pi? I've changed the settings in the Advancedsettings.xml file which is how I've got 1.5GB files running okay.

It's not the Pi. I have >10GB mp4 files running fine over a wired network. Very little buffering time. Are these just within your LAN or from the internet?

Edit; I'm using a Pi B+ not Pi 2.
 
Mine and happily plays uncompressed Bluray rips over wired Ethernet.

No special confg/setup just the usual My SQL DB for the library and files stored on a NAS
 
I'm using recalbox. It's using Windows SMB to share the files from the hard drive on my PC which is on a wireless connection and the Pi was connected via Ethernet. The speed test from the PC last night was 3.5mb down and 0.5 up:(.
 
I don't think anyone is suggesting that the internet speed has anything to do with it. However, the poor internet speed test result is likely due to slow wireless to the PC and this will be the same for the LAN speed to the Pi.

But twice he's mentioned slow internet and upgrading internet.

Wanted to hammer home, that this isn't the issue here :)

I've just got my Pi2 setup as an ADS-B tracker and running Apache2.

Have a POE project on the way for it from a friend as it will be going up a mast about 28FT to get the best ADS-B signal.

Webserver is fine be up there on it as it's a remote item anyway but wandering what else too run on it

Anyone?
 
Anyone used the Orange Pi Plus 2? The hardware seems great but I'm worried about software and overheating issues.

Can other devices on the network play the videos from your computer? You might want to check that Large Send Offload is disabled in the network adapter settings, with it enabled it will cause slow transfer speeds.

Just turned that off and it seems to be working perfectly now, thanks! Got a 18GB file working seamlessly.

That bluetooth issue I was talking about seems to be the old WiFi adapter I was using going bad as it's working fine with a different adapter.

Where is that turned off? In Kodi's system/settings or editing the xml file? I currently have to stream via WiFi and it might improve performance.
