Slow connection to Synology Diskstation

[mhdebokx]

Since a couple of months I upgraded XBMC from the good old XBOX to the new Mac Mini. Since the upgrade I have a slow connection to my Synology NAS, while both devices are connected by a network cable.

For example. On the XBOX I started the random photo viewer, and within 30 seconds the pictures are showed on the telly.
Now with the Mac Mini it takes about 4 to 5 minutes before the same show starts :mad:. From XBMC I use the SMB connection to the NAS, because that is the way it works.

Do you experience the same problems, or does anybody have the solution to this problem ?

Try deactivating the "statfiles" option in the advancedsettings.xml

Hi Krieg

Thanks for this option. I created the advancedsettings.xml and a small change in speed is noticed. Nevertheless the speed difference between the XBOX and MacMini is still enourmous.

You can do this in order to get more info:

- Activate logs in XBMC, access your data and upload the logfile to a pastebin service

- Login in the Synology and check with "top" what happens when you access the data. Is the smbd daemon taking the whole CPU?

PS. I have a Synology 207+

See URL for the XMBC.LOG
http://drop.io/mhdebokx

I have a Synology DS-106e, 32 MB, firmware DSM 2.0-0731.

I did the following actions
* start XMBC
* browsed to the NAS folder, and starten de photo show incl. all subdirectories
* It took about 1-2 minutes before it starten on de MacMini/XBMC

In the mean while I looked at TOP in the DiskStation
The SMBD had a %CPU near the 77.6

Thanks in advance ;)

I can't see drop.io from work, can you post it in a pastebin (.com or .ca)?

But smbd taking the whole CPU seems to be the same problem I had and I solved with the "statfiles" parameter.

Do the same thing from your XBOX and check the SMBD process in the DS.

Double check that you did the statfiles thing properly.

Post here your advancedsettings.xml.

Where did you put it?

[mhdebokx]

this is the advancedsettings.xml

<advancedsettings>
<system>
<debuglogging>true</debuglogging>
</system>
<samba>
<statfiles>false</statfiles>
</samba>
</advancedsettings>

Well, the pastebin

You have thousands and thousands of this line:

INFO: msg: ExifParse - Nonfatal Error : Illegal number format %d for tag %04x 0 0

Maybe 180k? Do you have thousands of pictures in the same directory?

Which version of XBMC do you have? 8.10 of 8.10bf1?

If you do not have 8.10bf1 then update to that one.
