what router r u using?

using media center LAN, i.e. samba?

i hv a similar set up but 50ft wifi 2.4ghz - can get the smaller files playing; big ones can't do - bit rate too high.

if u hv a good router and all compatible connections, cables, i would thought it should work with 5ghz at 15ft.

if that doesn't work... i hv read people saying NFS works better than samba.

one thing for sure, those using NAS+media center have reported no problems with big files.
sorry not much help. maybe some users with actual setups can assist!

Anyone having problem with their imprex video flickering problem?

Owned a preown q5pro, notice some dark screen flickering issue when the imprex is turn on and playing video on certain apps such as kodi, rss player.

Do some googling, the solution is turn off imprex completely which im doing so but don't get to enjoy imprex engine. Any other solution.

This one, i think is due to hdmi cable.

Check cable, connections.

Time to change TV? 

Ah... that may explain it.

Old plasma works best on old videos.

Seriously, even cheap 4k tvs can't do 4k hdr well.

So, either stay with old or move on with latest...

Could be the aggressive motion handling, like the soap opera effect (which I detest heavily) or how 3D glasses cause headaches in some people. In which case, you can ask that they switch it out of store mode to movie mode, turn off the extra motion handling and see if its better.

very easy to find answer...

take the box+hdd to neighbor or fren, plug into his tv, hopefully new, 4k.

ask him too if he likes what he sees.

I believe it's referred to as "Motion Interpolation".. Which in essence can be described as a feature whereby the TV increases the video's framerate, typically in order to match the TV's upper framerate limit. It's dome to reduce judder effect while making movement in videos appear smoother. Sometimes it's done so well that a soap opera effect is realized. Some people can notice this, others don't and need to have it pointed out to them (cough..spouse..cough). Same way, some love it, others hate it. I hate it as it makes movements look unreal to me. 

It goes by different names on different TV brands. They are all essentially the same, just different names for marketing and IP/copyright purposes. These are some of their names:
Samsung TVs......Auto Motion Plus/Motion Rate 240
Sony............Motionflow/Motionflow XR
LG........TruMotion/True Motion

Within the menu, they can be reduced or in most TVs, completely disabled.

In your case, the streaming speed is actually dependent on the health and speed of the LAN network, not internet speed. You could be using Unifi's 5Mbps plan and still have superior LAN connections. What you are experiencing is a bottleneck caused by either... Router transfer speeds limitations, WiFi (particularly congestion) or the himedia device even the wifi card in your PC. If the router is a capable one, then try both the PC and box connected via ethernet cable directly to the router.
You are welcome.. If that's the case, then fret not.. Easy fix and you can upgrade to your heart's content.. 

wireless will still be tough.

u may want to read this... some samba patch to incr the speed... i never tried...

looks all good to me.

should get dd5.1 and dd+5.1, transcoding too.

what firmware r u on?

what home theater?

box->hdmi->avr or box->optical->avr?

revert number of channels to default values.. since you are using pass-through.

it should work fine.

of course, u know u can get 5.1 only if the link is dd/dd+/dts51.

those files are typically >2gb, some 4-5gb each for tv shows and 6-10gb for movies.

is yr box q5pro or q10pro?

q5pro with less storage will not be able to do the bigger files unless u set the path to ext hdd.

smaller files are typically aac 2.0.
if still cannot, i suggest u do a clean install of kodi17.6, reinstall quasar n burst.

This the settings on my Q16

with your 100 mbps speed, there should be little or no buffering, at least for quasar.

in fact, it should be very smooth for up to 20gb videos if the seeds n peers r adequate.
dun bother with those tips on youtube, they dun work or r out of date, mostly.

try this:

go to kodi, player settings, video, hardware acceleration.

play around with both options (surface and the other) - on or off for either, both... see which setting works best.

no, not at all.

but... u gotta be mindful about your local issues with ethernet, wifi, lousy routers, lan cables.

cat 6 is good. archer, i dunno, am using asus.

i just watched a 10gb video on quasar.

can see the DL speed at almost 6MBps, i.e. close to max that my 50mbps can do.

that means 6MBps x 60 secs x 60 min x 2 hrs = 43gb video.

of course, can't expect that every sec.

realistically... it will be something like 4 x 60 x 60 = 14gb.

which is why i said yr 1000mbps shud breeze on a 20gb 2hr video.
one thing i thought of for u to try on kodi quasar to get dd/dd+5.1...

in the system settings, audio, set it to 2.0 and not 5.1.

that's my setting - i get dd/dd+5.1... DTS/DSTHDMA will be transcoded to DD5.1 as well.

Already told him to do this.. Not sure he has or not.
