Will Plex on nvidia shield ever support correctly smb2 and smb3?

Slow to initiate stream on gigabit lan. Direct stream, 8000-10000 bit rate

Thank you for checking that. I found the answer after looking at resource usage on the disk station. Synology’s implementation of opportunistic locking in smb. I guess I enabled this when working with a few Linux boxes due to (Lightroom catalog syncing issues)around the same time as the shield swap. Disabling it solves the issue completely. For anyone finding this later - File services, under smb. Click and advanced. The direct play files now work instantly through the shield client or ov…

Slow to access and start media from Shield PMS

Yes, it’s a solution but it creates another problems: opportunistic lock offers better performance when you want to edit files over SMB protocol. For example, if you want to edit music files with MP3tag, it will be very very slow! SMB v1 is very slow and not secure. Another workaround is to enable “SMB2 lease” if you have a Synology. But, sometimes, we can have the same issue: movies can take 30s to load… I hope Plex team will find a solution…
