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"
 
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

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!
