SamyGO Extensions [v0.03.6]

Hi Arris,

Im trying to increase read speed from my media server and have read your link about CIFS Performance. Has this been implemented in the latest download?

no special patches, cifs run on max speed what the protocoll give, you can play around with module parameter but i guess you won't get more than 13-16Mbit/s

Also can you tell me what is the difference between "Samba" and "Fusesmb" or are they dependant on each other?

are independed, just two different methods to access windows shares, you can enable both at the same time (if you like you can google fusesmb for some documentation)

hi arris,

you are sure you not started djmount in debug mode? in this case it stays in foreground and can maybe block other scripts? (never tested under normal conditions, debug stuff is in script from early stage of devel).

debug mode was disabled and I think it still might block or interrupt scripts, but now not 100% sure which script is problem one because 04_04_samba.init script not working properly at its original position.
I will test more and post results.

While trying different scripts and combination's I noticed that upnp still worked without starting 03_03_djmount.init script, but only after 03_01_fuse.init was started (found only in source list as dlna device, not in "SamyGO Virt. USB" in "upnp" folder).
Could upnp/dlna be already built in to kernel?
Another difference built in upnp will find all upnp servers except 1 beta upnp iptv server i'm testing, but djmount init script did find beta server.

Also I noticed that 04_04_samba.init wouldn't find all shared devices unless 04_04_fusesmb.init script was run first. see example below:

before 04_04_fusesmb.init started

Code: Select all

#
# cat /proc/net/arp | grep -v "IP address" | sed 's/^\(\w*.\w*.\w*.\w*\) *.*/\1/'
192.168.1.5
192.168.1.6
#

after 04_04_fusesmb.init started

Code: Select all

#
# cat /proc/net/arp | grep -v "IP address" | sed 's/^\(\w*.\w*.\w*.\w*\) *.*/\1/'
192.168.1.5
192.168.1.6
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.9

I have no problems when starting both scripts and 90_99_samba.init script run last with sleep delay of 30 seconds to wait for all other scripts to complete. that is including 90_90_injectso.init starting 1 app "ChannelInfo"

any idea why samba script doesn't find all network devices on its own?

Thanks

fusesmb use nmblookup too, so i think it sends a broadcast ping so after the tv's arp table has all computers. smb script just read the arp table. so if you enable both scripts and swap the start order smb should also mount all computers (if same user and password for the shares)

for upnp, i don't know why tv show you upnp source if you start fuse, but it's fine. kernel has no kind of upnp support.

Hi Arris,

I'm having similar problem as djcroc above when not accessing network after period of time, the wifi dongle looses connection.

Also experiencing new problem with 04_04_fusesmb.init, when TV is switched on it does not always find and mount network shares on computers/devices.
I not sure what has caused this intermittent problem as it was working without problems initially for a while.
I tried different sleep delays and also change init script order to run last, but still problem occurs.
Running 04_04_fusesmb.init script manually sometimes finds all networked devices and sometimes doesn't.

another thing I have noticed which never seen before, there is sometimes a file generated /dtv/usb/wlan_autoip_done. see file contents below:

Code: Select all

#cat /dtv/usbwlan_autoip_done
AUTO IP : 169.254.8.12
AUTO IP : 169.254..
AUTO IP : 169.254..
AUTO IP : 169.254..
#

is this problem not finding DHCP server?
and/or could it be a problem with the wifi router?
any suggestions would be appreciated.

dhcp cleients try to request the last leased ip address on start, i guess udhcpc writes this file.
for other problems i have no idea.
check link quality with iwconfig
try to ping the tv periodicaly from computer (cronjob or windows tasks)
