4K streaming on XD9305 via NAS..lags...impossible

[Henrik82]

Hi everyone.

I have an XD9305 TV with the latest FW. I connected it to a NAS (Synology DS115J). Connection is a Gbit LAN router (ASUS RT-AC87U AC2400 WLAN-Router)

The issue is.... 4K Streaming is impossible. It lags, frames are missing, usually no sound. I'm happy, if it shows around 15fps. To be honest, i was assuming a bit more from this TV.

Checked the network traffic between NAS & TV. It goes never over 9Mbyte. If I want to whatch a good quality FHD or  4K movie(mostly HEVC).. i just can't. Even Sony's demo movies cannot be whatched over this Gbit connection.

As i was curious, i tried the same vie the USB3 port. There, i can whatch the most oft them.but not all.

Is there a special setting on the TV? Or is it simply impossible with the TV?

The datatransfer between NAS and other devices id fine => over 90MByte

Every suggestion; idea is welcome

Ps.: Sorry for my bad english... i'm hungarian

One thing I found almost mandatory is to do a soft reset of the TV prior to trying to watch any 4K film from NAS/SAMBA source, even from USB3.0 disk sometimes is required. So first thing I do when I want to play a HEVC file is push some seconds the power button from remote control and wait for the TV to performe a fresh start.

It doesn't guarantee a fine play, still most of over 30 Gb files will not play properly.... flagship TV with mediocre cheap SOC and bad drivers.

Hi,

Unfortunatly the perfomance and functions getting all the times worse. With the newest i1m not able to connect via 5Ghz (a/c) WiFi. The TV got stucked and restarts it self, or just simply wont go further the logon screen. If it "says" connected am more happy than ever, that the "flagship TV" was able to do a simply connection...but...it just can't wake up my NAS, or see the devices. And i have to say, all other devices on the network are able to communicate with each other.

The simply advices like "reset to factory defaults" or "reboot will solve it" are worthless.

I'm much more than disappointed about this shiny "oldschool" TV. UNfortunatelly it is useless without a 3rdparty device to stream 4k HDR content via HDMI connection.

At the moment i have to use a pc to have the contents decoded/streamed to it via HDMI connection. In one word: this TV is a real backstep to the beginnings, where all people used a kind of pc+TV combination. Now, i have to do the same...after all the years...to whatch the spots/home 4K movies, presentation.

After all this months, wher the FWs didn't solve the issues (not just this, but a lot more), i see only one solution for this issue: get a "real smart TV" with an up - 2 - date HW, with a pc specialist, as the supports answear for this issue is: "I should ask for the LAN connection specification and datarate and if that fits the transferrate, only than buy the TV"... yes..sure...

Sorry once again, but as i stated, really disappointed about this modell

Disappointed and upset as everybody here facing the same issue. But Sony has got the money and they do not really give a sxxt. Get just apologies will not solve our problems and the frustation. Sony must take full responsibility and give some cashback card for buy a piece of hardware that could compensate for the lack in their products. Anyhow, this are hollow words, the rip-off is always right around the corner and we got one.

I honestly don't know what's wrong with the Home Networking. For example I am using NFS between my MacBook Pro (MBP) and my new Apple TV 4K (ATV 4K). My ATV 4K is wired to a second router. If my MBP is on WiFi, with 300+Mbps connection, via NFS I get a peak transfer speed not above 100Mbps. With the videos lagging. Wiring the MBP to the same router (so it's a full 1Gbps connection between the two), everything is fine. But if I use WebDAV the connection via WiFi improves drastically. No matter if I use Kodi or Infuse on the ATV 4K. If I wire the MBP and use the ATV 4K on WiFi, same identical behaviour.

Same thing when I stream to my (wired to the same router) TV. When the MBP is on WiFi I get via NFS/SMB/SSH 1/3 or the speed I get when the MBP is wired (which is near 100Mbps).

So for once I don't believe I can blame the TV/Android. WIth WebDAV, the MBP on WiFi and the TV wired I do get full local bandwidth. Same when I use the wired ATV 4K (and the MBP still on WiFI), but the WebDAV app I downloaded crashes so I can't really test.

Also UPnP (from the Plex server) usually provides full bandwidth. But it may become a pain to configure a client with the libraries (it depends on the media player app). Why the other protocols don't perform, I have no clue.
