Minix T5 beginner problems...

Hello.
No problem my friend, I understood what was more important in post #17. I had to add ".en" to the subtitle before ".srt" nothing else, it was very logical for me.

For me I added ".ro" to the subtitles and it really worked on a single movie.

At that time I tested a lot in Kodi, settings, add-ons .... maybe it was too much. I uninstalled / installed the application and then it worked without adding ".ro" before ".srt". All the movies went very well!

My problem was that in DS Video I could not see certain movies (with certain codecs) and those that had the subtitle included in the movie and in the file did not load the subtitle from the directory. So I discover that the application has its own player, if you do not want to use another and is OK for play many type of movies. When has problem ask for another player.

I think it was a problem of interpreting / reading / sending movie + subtitle in MX Player. I managed to find a good codec and I changed some settings in the NAS and now it's better.
I generally use DS Video and when I have problems, I use Kodi.
I discovered Kodi but it's a bit complicated for me, until you set it up but it's worth the effort!

I need some advice (from someone who use a NAS connected to the MINIX T5) how to better arrange movies / series / tv shows on the NAS, files / directories so I can access them more easily in Kodi.

So thank you for your clarification and for your help @ArcticWolf . I want to believe that many of us think when they read something and understand when it is unintentionally wrong!

simply arrange them in folders that suit you, and then you can link whatever you want into your media libraries with Kodi , for example by individual foldrs on your NAS. REmeber that when creating your kodi library to say what type of files each library contains ( ie Movies or TV shows etc ) so that you can get the correct metadata

Thank you @pusb87 !
A have 4 big category: movies , tv series, tv shows and many concerts and clips.
I want to put in the movie folder, folders with the movies categorized: SF, comedies, cartoon ... and so on for TV series, TV shows and concerts all remain in one folder. Is it better to leave movies and TV series without categorizing them all together and relying on metadata from Kodi?

You don´t need to do that.
Do this: (three main folders)
Movies
Tv Shows
Videos

Kodi just make it easier for you:) but You need to create kodi library.
example: You can view just the movies (after library creation) with the category comedy


My opinion:
1-Movies/Tv shows for movies/tv shows of course with sub folders
For Movies/Tv shows you need (i advice you ) to create metadata (set content)
2-Leave concerts/clips without metadata and copy to videos

Kodi example of set content: (please read this)

See attached file (after i created my library)

Glad you've made some progress & things are working better :).
 
Merry Christmas everybody!

I manage to add libraries in Kodi. One problem in "Music videos" I have a lot of clips but Kodi load only couple of them.... maybe need to wait some time to load?

I want to add Kodi in "Channels" but when i want to choose from "Customize channel" Kodi is active but under is write "channel ie empty"...

I read about MTU size and what is the problem when change values. In my wireless router is 1500 and in my NAS is 2000.
Searching on the internet I manage to find a page with information on how to test what is the size of MTU for your network. This is the page: https://kb.netgear.com/19863/Ping-Test-to-determine-Optimal-MTU-Size-on-Router
After testing a found that 1472 is ok for router and NAS. i change this value on both devices. Still no difference...
Today I tested from outside network on this page: http://www.letmecheck.it/mtu-test.php and result is 1492.
You guys what size of MTU use?

Defaults for me too :).
 
When I tested the network with values higher than 1472, the sent packets were lost ... I dropped to 1472 and all the sent packets were received.

Correct, that is because you have set your router to 1472 so any packet higher will need to be fragmented, by adding -f to your ping you are commanding the packet NOT to fragment so it will cause the error.

And what do you advise me to do, to leave them as default as they were, 1500 in the router and 2000 in the NAS? So far I haven't felt a big difference ...

I would say leaving MTU on default is recommended.

If you have the option:
Router - MTU (Put in AUTO).

Having said that leave the router with default settings.
 
You can play with jumbo frames but everything on you Lan must be able to manage jumbo (switch, network cards and a good ethernet cable).

May all your dreams come true in 2021! Happy new year!

Need your help. From some moment Facebook Watch cannot play nothing...no video. Open app, choose a clip and nothing... wait and wait.
Install/Uninstall, clear cache/data, change dns, no result...
Anybody know something about a solution?
Thank you.

I fixed the problem! After searching on the internet, somebody tell that is a problem with updates for "Android System WebView"...
Uninstall the update of this apk and after that, Facebook Watch is working.
Stopped the updates for apk. Maybe with an udpate they will fix this problem.

Hello. Is there anyone who uses an android application on the phone / minix as a remote control for the minix T5? With mouse functions, keyboard as an on-air remote control.
Thanks
