Network and streaming serious performance issues with clover and El Capitan

imacosiris · October 4, 2015

Hi guys

I have some problems after update my hackinosh to El Capitan

My previous config was:

OS X 10.10.5 with Enoch r2773

My extra folder have this:

Extra (folder)

Extensions (folder)

AppleACPIPlatform.kext

FakeSMC.kext

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

RealtekRTL8111.kext

modules

HDAEnabler.dylib

Keylayout.dylib

klibc.dylib

Resolution.dylib

Sata.dylib

uClibcxx.dylib

Extensions.mkext

org.chameleon.Boot.plist

smbios.plist

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP43T-UD3L (lasted BIOS)

Processor: 2.5 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6xxx 1024 MB

RAM: 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3

All working

Then i use the method from here to use clover and install "El Capitan"

(http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/448-universal-os-x-installer/)

The universal installer v4 by Chris1111

Works perfect, i made and HHD with the final version of "EL Capitan"

Then i choose this BOOTLOADER Method: CloverEFI 64-bits using SATA to access drives

I' don't use the UEFI method because my mother is a bit old and i think that may be doesn't work

After comple the update boot again with the external drive and run the clover install with the same choise, reboot and all works perfect

I use this mac with Plex Media Server, this mac stream video to ann apple TV and another iMac, i notice after the upgrade that the stream and copy performance goes to hell

i try to play a 200MB SD file over a GB network and video stuck on the first 10 seconds. with OSX 10.10 i has able to play 1080p files over 12GB size over the same conditions

I try to copy a file over the network from one mac to another 10GB file size need 2 hours to complete the copy

This is my current config in clover, this is my first setup on clover i don't have much expirience with this, i use before Enoch and Chamaleon to build my hackintosh

Some one can help me please ?

This is my current config on clover (and my previous setup in Enoch)

Best regards !!

Hi guys

I think i found the problem, but i can't solve yet

I found the file sysctl.conf on /etc/sysctl.conf

this file have the tcp parameters i found some site with info and recommendation

this is an example

Any one have any idea of this parameters for OS X 10.11 ??

kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=4194304

kern.ipc.somaxconn=2048

kern.ipc.nmbclusters=2048

net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0

net.inet.tcp.win_scale_factor=4

net.inet.tcp.sockthreshold=16

net.inet.tcp.sendspace=1042560

net.inet.tcp.recvspace=1042560

net.inet.tcp.mssdflt=1448

net.inet.tcp.v6mssdflt=1428

net.inet.tcp.msl=15000

net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive=0

net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0

net.inet.tcp.slowstart_flightsize=20

net.inet.tcp.local_slowstart_flightsize=20

net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2

net.inet.udp.blackhole=1

net.inet.icmp.icmplim=50

imacosiris · October 6, 2015

any ideas ? please

Maniac10 · October 7, 2015

Hi imacosiris, first of all try the latest Realtek driver please.

imacosiris · October 7, 2015

Hi imacosiris, first of all try the latest Realtek driver please.

Thanks Maniac10 i will try that

I have an update, i change the /etc/sysctl.conf into this:

net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0

net.local.stream.recvspace=65535

net.local.stream.sendspace=65535

net.inet.tcp.sendspace=1042560

net.inet.tcp.recvspace=1042560

I try other combinations but this works very well, now i can move files from one mac to another again in minutes no hours

With Plex, i can see videos with direct play on my iMac .

But this is strange i still have problems if i try to see videos on the AppleTV ( i try to connect the apple TV with an ethernet cable same result) even when the apple TV and plex are set to do direct play.

Yesterday i manage to play (airplay video) from my iMac (real mac) to the apple TV, so.... with all that test, i will try to replace the ethernet driver and come back to you

regards

You should ask the developer of the kext (on that thread I linked before) for a few tips, I read that there are some settings for fine-tuning the performance but I don't know that much about the topic.

Good luck!

I will ask to the developer, i still have the streaming problem, but the network transfers is really good

Thanks Again!
