Works conform specs reaching over 80 MBytes/sec transfer rate.

What needs to be checked first is that an upload happens as a background task without jeopardizing the NAS Server output function. It should be possible to play UHD material concurrently using the same player without jitter etc. Best also another player accessing this NAS Server as a SMB client should run flawless. Can't test this myself as I don't have an UHD TV setup. If this is not the case it is not a potential default for me. Adding an extra option for the choice "SMB Throughput Optimized: YES/NO" is an alternative .

Thank you very much, I was already burned to pass the files so slowly, after installing the Patch and multiplied by 4 the transfer data.
Great job.

This patch works occasionally?I installed yesterday, transfer 40MB, today after running everything was back to "normal" transfer is 3mb  >:(.
Unfortunately, I will repeat: too many patches, no stable software.

'Normal' transfer rates are not 3MB/s. There must be a problem with the rest of your network setup for that to be the case.

I have seen variable speeds too. Maybe you are doing something in the foreground concurrently?

 I plan to install this.  From what I have read, you should select 3 to backup your existing smb.conf file.  Then select 1 to install the patch, reboot and that should be it.

I did read some where that you may need to change the Workgroup, although I can't find that post now..

From what I see, the other sections are there if you want to customize or if you have issues and need to restore.

Title: Re: [PATCH] Samba server optimisation
Post by: futeko.com on December 18, 2016, 09:26:17 PM
1.

Or 3 then 1 if you want to backup up Samba config before starting.

Title: Re: [PATCH] Samba server optimisation
Post by: pcristi on December 23, 2016, 08:21:00 AM
Only 1 is OK,
Step 1 is run backup process too, don't need to do step 3 first if user don't hvea itself smb.conf.
Step 6 uninstall will remove patch and after box is reboot samba server will run on original HiMedia smb.conf.

also runs on Android 5, one can install on 1.9?
It installs as  on android  7 ?

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, --> not normal msg, is a error once.

Unpack downloaded archive and don't try to run RUN_ME.bat direct form archive, check if anti-virus program not block or remove adb.exe.

same thing for me, got the same error.  I also noticed that the sub director within the zip is labeled 1.05, the file name is 1.06.

I ended up Uninstalling and then tried Install again and it seem to work.

I s there a way to confirm the patch is applied correctly?

Is there a way to confirm the patch is applied correctly? --> use option 3 to make backup and compare smb.conf with smb.orig,  smb.conf will show you few more lines.

I cannot find the smb.conf file or the backup.  I'm connected to my Q10 ip address/share    and I do not find it in any of the directories.

You miss understand smb.conf, smb.bak, smb.orig are create in same folder with RUN_ME.bat, not on player.

I will change smb.conf:
from

   netbios name = Android_f8abc
to:
   workgroup = GHW23
   server string = HiMedia_Q10Pro
        netbios name = HiMedia_Q10Pro

This I have done:
I have press 2. Change WORKGROUP -> nothing
I have 3., change smb.conf, 5. and 1.
If I do 3. once more the changes are in the file.
But if I reboot mediaplayer, the changes away.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.  I'm on 2.0.0 and close to upgrading to 2.0.1 (looking for a better way to backup all installed apps so I don't have to keep re-installing everything I want). 

The 2.0.1 Fix Llist slows the samba slow speed fix item number 3.

This needs to be reported so they can remove the false claim on the Fix List and add  the real fix to the next fw release.

The patch does nothing to increase that speed. :\


Looks like something in your network is only 100 mbit, which would only give you the speeds you are seeing.

Solved.

It was just the goddamn cable, even though it was supposed to be "high end"...

Man, I would LOVE to get 80Mbs transfer speeds. I'm running Android 5.1 with the 1.9 firmware. I was getting around 7.5MBs wireless LAN transfer speeds, after patch about 23MBs. I have all GB gear, ie ASUS AC1900 GB router, GB Ethernet card, etc.  I wonder what I'm doing wrong?

@CookiePuss: check the cable. Try with another one. We are talking about ethernet, right? Not wireless connectivity.

Wireless will be slower than wired ethernet and will depend on distance to router / obstacles / other wifi networks.

23MB/s is not bad for wifi, it's 184Mbps, which is higher than you'll need for any video.

I feel dumb haha. Yes, I'm running wireless. I tried using on of those Powerline Adapters that plug into the wall but I didn't see any increase in speed. I feel better knowing the speeds I'm getting are normal for a wireless connection. I was happy even with the 3x boost from 7.7MBs to 23MBs to be honest, I just thought I was supposed to be getting 80+ on wireless when I read the thread. Thanks for the replies and for the continued patches/updates fort he Q10 Pro. :)

This patch is not necessary when running Android 5.1 firmware 1.1.0 or Android 7 firmware 2.0.1 or later.

Iam using the most recent firware for Himedia Q10 Pro. " Android 7  v2.06. and getting a transfer speed of 3MB/Second over Wifi network.
What can possibly be wrong for such a slow transfer rate.

Try changing wifi channel on your router.

Hello everyone.
There are news about critical vulnerabilities in SAMBA being discovered and repaired by patching SAMBA.
Info here:  https://thehackernews.com/2018/03/samba-server-vulnerability.html
Official SAMBA Patches here: https://www.samba.org/samba/history/security.html
What can we do #Pcristi?

Are there any improvements to samba transfer rates available ... with the new patches ??

No way of patching the samba app ourselves, is it? Well, I tried bringing this up but apparently we all have to wait, as usual.

Apparently FW v2.0.8 required again to apply this patch. Need more user for testing.

Im running 2.0.8


Before patch im getting approx. 12MB/s, after patch I get the same 12MB/s


Using a single video file of 3GB.


Everything in the network is gigabit. Have tested by connecting a old laptop to the same ethernet port and transferring files. I get around 90MB/s.


When transferring files between my NAS to my computer I max out the connection at 112MB/s

any ideas to increase the speed?


Cheers

Look like box is connect to 100Mbps/Full

Check via adb shell
Code: [Select]
adb connect ip_player
adb root
adb connect ip_player
adb shell "dmesg | grep eth0"

Output will be like that eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full
Code: [Select]
hi_gmac_v200 f9841000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

What does it mean? The box output is limited to 100Mbit anyways, or it's just connected to a 100Mbit router port?

@Mount81

For a rezone somehow ethernet(eth0) is negotiate with router(switch) to 100Mbit.
If look on first post of this topic will see samba copy speed is 25MB/s with ethernet(eth0) connect to 1Gbit when samba optimization is was not implemented on smb.conf. JohnnyBoyIsMe have to check ethernet(eth0) link status reading status port reported by router(switch) or from adb shell on output of dmesg command.
Reboot router(switch) or change cables maybe can solve his problem.

Thanks for the information, but no idea how to get abd shell to work. I downloaded something but not sure how to use it.

After some investigation it appears my unit is connecting to the router at only 100mbits.

I believe its either a firmware issue or hardware issue in the box after the following testing

- pluged laptop into the same ethernet port as the Q10 pro and got 1000mbits connection
- plugged Q10 pro into another ethernet port (i have 6 running to my home theatre) and connected only at 100mbits
- used seperate long ethernet cable to connect directly from Q10 pro to router (bi-passing switch) and connecting at 100mbits


This would explain why video gets choppy at around the 70-80mbits range as its maxing out the 100mbit connection.

Any ideas on this?

Just tried to use the wifi connection for transfers......18Mb/s (not mbits)

Do I just have a dud unit?

using 2.0.8 Original
no patch

Transmission rates over 1GB Network average 60 MB (MegaBytes) /s
some additional Traffic too.....

so no urgent need for a patch so far.......

Using 2.1.1 Custom firmware.
Patch doesn't work. Got 2-10 MB/s.

EDIT: HDD was almost full. Deleted some files and now I'm back to normal speeds (~40-50 MB/s).

Hello,

I would have a question.
I run the adb and started the run_me. A chosed the 1th option (apply patch) I got an error message:

error: device not found
"patched or custom smb.conf activ"

the player is in the same network as my computer and I can reach from the file explorer.

Could you help me?

Thanks,
Csaba
