Swiftfin Cache Settings?

[docsuess84]

So in another thread we ruled out Jellyfin itself through some logs. The issue had to be a file transfer bottleneck on my LAN. I’m not sure about the bit rates, but another factor that made a night and day difference was unchecking the “Prefer Samba 1” option in VLC. I haven’t been able to duplicate the issue on my iOS devices in VLC since I did that while Swiftfin’s performance remains unchanged. I kind of figured it had to be a Samba configuration between client devices and the storage drives connected natively to the host 2012 Mac Mini. Most of the problem media was stored on an external USB 3.0 HDD drive so I thought the bottleneck was a USB driver issue within Linux or a bad cord or something, but then again, it depended on what device was the client. I ruled out the USB issue by moving my test files onto the internal HDD drive and there was no difference. I was even having an issue with DVD rips but it was inconsistent across client devices running two different versions of an integrated Kodi OS (LibreElec vs OSMC). LibreElec plays flawlessly regardless of file or drive location. OSMC clients have struggled with files played from the host hard drives, iOS devices as well until the Prefer Samba 1 was changed. My other NAS devices serve files as Samba shares across the network to any device with no transfer speed issues. So something is screwy with the Samba protocol settings between my client device running OSMC and my hard drives mounted locally to my Lubuntu host Mac Mini but served as network Samba shares. It’s not the Wifi, and it’s not the Ethernet.
