Getting Help / Re: Slow file transfer

Quote from: IanL-S on May 19, 2024, 11:42:28 AMMy recollection is that copying via SAMBA os quite swift, although I rarely use it (mainly because of flaky windows support for SMABA). I use SFTP most of the time, using various ftp clients, but mainly FileZilla. You need to enable SSH in KODI settings in the "services" tab, and set a password (not a good idea to disable password requirement).
I've never seen any issues, either with SAMBA, or speed of file transfer from IceBox BYO to a Windows 11 PC. I suspect cabling or this ->Mac<-.

If wireless, then a whole other story.

Quote from: NBOSTI on May 18, 2024, 10:54:13 PMIs Samba the only file transfer protocol  available for IceBox? Am I missing something in settings on IceBox or Mac/network?

I just use my Local Network. I found that ICEBOX appeared in the Network folder on my PC and when I opened it, I could see the Recordings folder.  The transfer was slowish, but much better than what you described.  About 4 hours to copy pretty much a Terabyte.

Getting Help / Slow file transfer
Last post by NBOSTI - May 18, 2024, 10:54:13 PM
O.K. So I like to transfer and save some recorded files to my Mac. Add them to my existing Library.
In order to use another player to use at later date. Infuse can handle playing back the .mkv files. although some program names are generic. So I edit Meta Data. All good.
The issue; I find that with Samba the file transfer from IceBox to Mac can take a long time, up to 2 hours or more for a movie. A 1/2 hour tv show can take over an hour.
When I used to use AFP to transfer files between systems on my network, mainly between Macs, it would only be a matter of minutes to complete.
Is Samba the only file transfer protocol  available for IceBox? Am I missing something in settings on IceBox or Mac/network?
Just seems extremely slow when my network performs fast with other transfers and streaming.

Quote from: TimC on January 28, 2024, 12:12:25 AMMy understanding of the Harmony is that it is an IR Device, not RF.
Thanks for the post and i haven't done anything about getting an IceBox yet. My understanding is the Harmony Elite is a RF device as it comes with a 'blaster' (for want of a better term) to place in the AV cabinet as well as two additional IR generators to put under the receiver of 'difficult' rquipment items.

Hope this helps!

Hi Ian,

The file is only in place while the automatic commercial detection process is running, if nothing is being processed at the time then the file will not be there.

So if you haven't had any recordings finish recently it will not be there, but within about 2 minutes of Pointless finishing being recorded it will show up again as the process starts for that recording.
