why is NAS browsing that slow compared to windows explorer? (1 Viewer)

[mansoniac]

Hello,

I´ve about 1 TB of music and movies on my WLAN-NAS.
Browsing with Windows explorer is a snap, Media portal takes ages.
Using folder structure view. Database views are fast.
Why?
Yess, i´ve searched the forum, but found only older threads...
Deleted thumbs folder, didn´t help. Deactivated thumbs as much as possible, didnt help, too.
Thank you for general hints.

Hello, I did as i am told but unfortunately no difference. First of all, i´d like to say a big Thanks for the support. But: Need more logs? What else can i do to narrow this down ?

Please make a test with the following steps:

1. Clean you mediaportal log folder (c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log)
2. Start watchdog
3. Select the 1st option (Report a bug to Team Mediaportal)
4. Go to my video
5. Go to a folder which is slow, note how many seconds were until the content was showed
6. Exit MP
7. Upload the zip file with logs.

Here we go. It´s like i did with the last log.
Before i started media portal in debug mode, i browsed the drive with the windows explorer to make sure, it was not suspended.
Then i started Media portal in debug mode, browsed to myVideos, entered pin.
It took 12-13 sec for the folder "parentsMovies" to show up. The window explorer need not a second. Then i exited MP.
Thank you for your help. BTW i didn´t find anything in the logfiles. Where do you look at?

If you have IPV6 enabled in the network, disable it and try again.

Already disabled IPv6 due to many tips on google. Also disabled autotuning:

Doesn´t help.

Anyway, thank you for help. The problem is with MP : File browsing is extremly more slow in media portal.
Windows explorer goes way faster. Takes me 12 secs to open my movies folder in Mediaportal but no noticeable (< 1sec) time with windows explorer.
I assume MP also looks for thumbs, database entries and whatever that slows this down.

how many files and folders do you have in that particular folder?

Can you disable the file cache?
