Optimum Network Share Performance

For optimum performance, the PC used for network file sharing should be a dedicated server. In smaller systems using a desktop PC, the computer must be configured for the task. You may need to allocate additional resources on the PC by setting the following registry key to 3:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size.

Image quality and playback can be compromised when files are uploaded to the player during active playback.

Network Shares Dialog

The SMD 101 network shared folder dialog provides options for flexibility within the SMB/CIFS protocol (see Play Video from a Network Share on page 51). You can add a credentials file, change the port mapping, configure security related features, and add security mode settings. Other options provide the ability to set the read/write mode, filename character remapping, and control over filename case sensitivity. The options field is not normally required. If the network connection fails, or you cannot access a server folder, contact your network administrator to determine if these options are necessary for your network.
