problematic video playback via LAN on iOS ReadyCLOUD app, from RN102
I've never been able yet to get a good performance from my RN102. It's usable as backup / storage and streaming media via DLNA also seems to work well on my BlueRay player, but anything that goes vi...
the readycloud-for-mac issue got resolved thanks to a suggestion from Deniro to register a new MyNetgear account due to some permission-releated issues he had spotted in the log files.
With another account it turns out to work great.
Video playback via the iOS app is a lot better now as well (it uses the same new account), not yet completely stutter-free, but in any case watchable.
Thanks everyone!
oh, I forgot to answer one thing: viewing those same video files on the laptop, though still using wifi.
I just tested it again with SMB (I found AFP works less reliable).
Accessing the file system on the NAS: goes so-so, listing directory contents takes very long, up to 30-60 seconds. Playback of a mp4 video file is about just as choppy as on the ReadyCLOUD app on the iphone: playback stops and starts again erraticly; it makes them quite impossible to watch.
Funny thing is that the size of the file does not really matter: it happens with the smaller files of ~6Mb just as well as with larger ones of ~100Mb.
