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.

after installing the Petch the speed was 82MB / s
now he returned to 16Mb / s
that happens?
I reinstalled the ptch, but always goes to 16Mb / s

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.

1.

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

also runs on Android 5, one can install on 1.9?
It installs as  on android  7 ?
thank you
ps 3 and 1

[pcristi]

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 ?
thank you

'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.
