Welcome
Hi Bugdiscoverer, and welcome to the ScreenPlay Wiki. I don't know what kind of network speed you are hoping for. The best I've been able to get is around 20 Mbits/sec (ethernet to ethernet through a router). As far as the R1.1 network, wlvs told me he didn't notice any real speed difference. The fastest we've been able to accomplish was by using this other SMBD program. I've also tried other forms to get it going faster. There just does not appear to be a very fast speed available for a 200 mhz MIPS processor.

Now I've got two 1 TB NTFS drives that are plugged into a USB HUB that I switch back and forth from the computer to the ScreenPlay. Then I can quickly copy files and make them available on the SPP.

Like you, I've also thought about the potential behind a USB DVD Player, and an external tuner. I have done nothing toward that end. I've got other goals in mind right now. You can actually share a DVD drive on a computer and read it from the ScreenPlay. But I think you have to have something like AnyDVD to automatically decrypt any commercial DVD. Just a possible complication to think about should you pursue that path. --JCoug 04:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the response.

Really the speed I got with the new smb was better but so unstable that each time  i try to copy  o delete a file the connection was lost. May be the NTFS driver is not able to handle a decent network speed therefore the limit to 1Mb/sec to work.

I've reinstall the R1 firmware and now it's working but 9 hours for 14,5 Gb of files...

Regard to the dvd. I realize that a .iso file from a protected (without ripping) dvd is not playable with de spp.

Thank you again. Bugdiscoverer 09:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised at the lost connections. I haven't experienced that with mine.  I don't usually use wifi for copying, though.  If I have to do it over the network, I'm usually directly connected to the router for maximum speed.  Are you doing that over wifi?  If so, can you try doing it with direct ethernet connection and see if you still experience it?

 * That's good to hear that it's working for you now. I don't think mine has the multiple connections enabled right now, but I don't recall that being a problem when I had it too.  Something to watch for, though.  --JCoug 15:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
