Hi guys,
I have encountered a nasty problem and I do not understand which component is to blame.
I have a FreeNAS box with both SMB and NFS shares which I can access and play smoothly from them any video (even 4k rips) to several devices such as AppleTV 4k, Nvidia Shield TV, Windows PCs. Recently I have installed FreeBSD 12 Release p5 on an Lenovo Ideapad 330S-14IKB Laptop, Core I3 7100 KabyLake, Intel HD 620. I have mapped both NFS shares (mount 192.168.1.xyz:/mnt/Homeserver/Media /mnt/Media) and SMB shares via Thunar file manager (XFCE). I can see my shared folders from NAS and can play movies but it stuttering like hell from both NFS and SMB for everything higher than DVD rips meaning 1080p and 4K Blu-Ray rips. The same movies when played from an attached USB 3.0 drive are very smooth and CPU load is hoovering around 18-22% for 4k movies. I have checked and HW acceleration is enabled by libva-intel-media-driver. The laptop was tested 1m from the router and the WiFi interface used is an Intel AC 7265.
Is it a problem with either NFS and SMB over WiFi or do I have to do some fine tunning? On a side note I have played 4k trailers on Youtube with Firefox (Aquamen) and are butter smooth so the WiFi interface seems up to the task.
Are there any tests that I can perform in order to check the speed from FreeNAS shares?
Thanks a lot in advance!
