please enlighten me why someone would need to stream anything beyond 100 Mbps… DTS-HD MA 1600 kbps, 4K HDR 10 bit with 30.000 kbps… Still not even the half of the bandwith. I assume that the WiFi6 the G1 has is not significantly faster than an 100 Mbit LAN under real circumstances. I would not make any thoutht about this befora anything starts buffering.
The WiFi is the same an all versions. It is irrelevant if there is a GB LAN chip installed or not on the board.
Ok so i did more tests, managed to get 180mb+ on WiFi 6 but still can’t play 1917/oppenheimer via nfs, @Sholander what is your coreelec cache/nfs settings maybe I’m missing something?
@kszaboa 1:1 copy of 1917/oppenheimer will played from nas/plex will test it.
So how many here can play high bitrate via WiFi 6? Want to know if just me as my s922 minix max with same sdcard (i just changed the dtb.img) play these smooth with chapter skipping etc.
I speak from my experience. Yes G1 has USB 2.0 ports, which are capable of (theoretically) 480 Mbit/s speeds, IRL well over 300 Mbit/s. Using USB3.0 to Ethernet adapters, I have 3 of them, ( simple Amazon Basics USB 3.0 to 1 Gigabit, uni USB to Ethernet Adapter, USB 3.0 Hub and Schwaiger USB Type C Multiport Adapter.
All of them achieve speeds 260-300 Mbit/s on my G1, depending on the model.

Valid point
However the one iam using USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0
I have gigabit ethernet
The main is to check specs to assure is Linux compatible!!!

I have CE → Services → Cache completely disabled, set to None; that works best for me on my 2,5 Gigabit router connected to 1Gb fiber. The highest peek bitrates I have seen are around 190-200 Mbit/s, medium is then about 140-150 for such streams.
Misery 4K is actually one of the better benchmarks for testing due to its high bitrate which constantly maintains 90+ mbps with many peaks into 110 range. Also has FEL DV and hence works as an all-rounder testing file.
Just to say I received another kinhank box from AE global store today and the hungphutho FW upgrade / CE DEV FEL (dtb from MrMind) still work very well thanks to all !
Yep
Me too
3thd box received and hungphutho upgraded today…CE work flawlessly WITH DV FEL (@MrMind dtb)
@hungphutho: I have a box with 11.1.4 original firmware. Can I make a full backup via UART?
Hi, this seems like the cheapest box on Amazon which can play back DV FEL.
Can you tell me, if I buy a new, unopened box as of today, will it be able to play back DV FEL in CE? I don’t ever want to boot into Android, I just want a basic box for local DV playback.
Might want to read a few of the last pages above AND
There is a good chance you might get a box with only 100M Ethernet and the WiFi on this has been unreliable for some people including myself.
In that case, you have to either use USB drive directly or an USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter which can give you stable network playback of DV FEL Remux files.
If you do get one with a 1Gbit Ethernet luckily, then use that Ethernet for network playback since that is very stable and I’ve already watched a lot of stuff that way and even FF & RW works fine.

please can you confirm if you received the gigabit ethernet or the 100 Mbit ethernet.
Seems the latest revision is to get rid of the 1000Mbps ethernet but according to Sholander getting a 1000Mbps USB3 to Ethernet adapter gives you more than enough for all things CoreELEC.
I’ve searched through AliExpress to find a bundle to get the cheapest in case anyone is interested
$3.59 (pick USB3)
DBIT Wi-fi Adapter 3.0 USB HUB Ethernet Type C To RJ45 Gigabit Network Card Mini PC Desktops Laptop Accessories Plug and Play
$0.89 (pick 2 metres for $0.89 or you can pick longer cables for more $)
Cable Ethernet De Alta Velocidad Cat5e RJ45 Cable De Red LAN Enrutador De Ordenador Patch Cord , 1M/5M/10M/15M/20M/30M/50M
$1.39 (pick Color: CP2102 Cable)
CP2102 USB 2.0 to UART TTL 5PIN Connector Module Serial Converter STC Replace FT232 CH340 PL2303 CP2102 MICRO USB for aduino
total for Uart cable + 1000Mbps ethernet adapter + 2m ethernet cable is
$5.87 pre tax and free 6 day shipping , shipped by aliexpress
You can buy longer ethernet cable or if you need another item , say SD card you can search for another choice item (3 choice items needed to hit free shipping)
you don’t need to buy anything else for this bundle to get free shipping.
not bad to pay an extra $5.87 (pre tax) to make sure you pretty much will have a working G1.
Just trying to help out.
Hi @mugmealer & @Sholander can you test any dolby vision films via nfs/smb on wifi? I now get constant 180mb+ on WiFi but still struggling playing even low bitrate dolby vision films, im wondering if its rev d version that’s the culprit. I’ve tried all cache settings incl no buffer & nfs 4 but still struggles. Is driving me crazy, and due to my flat i can only use wifi most of the time.
Hi, there is a chance that your (new) G1 boxes come with preinstalled (already flashed) new Android which blocks the bootloader. What that means is that when you power on this box for the first time it will start installing this new Android, like a new phone when first powered on. If this happens you are fucked out of CE.
To avoid this, the first thing you should do is to FIRST flash moded firmware found here in this thread.

Just to mention, the need for any UART adapter/cable is needed only to revive once blocked box. It is not needed for any new box as long as the first thing you do is, BEFORE POWERING THE BOX ON, install moded firmware from @hungphutho.

I use my G1 only for internet streaming, as it’s Netflix/Widevine L1 certified…
How does your behave in Android Kodi Omega, which also reproduces DV movies?
