Problems streaming from ReadyNAS by SMB with MPC
Have my ReadyNAS all set up and working fine now and doing everything I want, bar this one little detail. I'm getting around 35-40 MB/s transfer from SSD/HD to NAS via a gigabit switch but it won't st...
Did a little more investigation into this, running task managers networking analysis, and it shows around 50-55% of network utilisation purely on download when streaming, with spikes up to around 80% compared to ~30% when transferring the entire file in a matter of seconds.
Any ideas why streaming a 500meg file over 20-25 minutes would use 60-70MB/s of the network throughput, when transferring the entire file only runs at 30-35? And, if the NAS is capable of transferring at actually, spikes of up to 100MB/s, why doesn't it do that on file transfers? And how can I change this so streaming is effective and if possible, file transfers even faster.
Obviously there is some overhead, but this seems to be a fairly small percentage, just running the maths quickly, 30% of the 125MB/s theoretical possible (1Gb/8) is about 37.5MB/s which makes the overhead around 10%
Also MPC does appear to interfere with file transfers, they run incredibly slowly when MPC is running, but the network utilisation matches this. so during a slow transfer at 500kB/s say, the network utilisation is also very low.
