4XLink vs SMB, which is better?Streaming the same video file via 4XLink or SMB provides the same video quality. 4XLink is easy to get started with; playback smoothness also depends on your network and device performance. 4XLink is available for Windows, Mac, and NAS. The NAS version runs in Docker and requires a NAS that supports Docker and meets the installation guide's requirements. Choose the x86-64 or ARM64 image that matches your device's architecture. On a NAS, you can deploy 4XLink or continue sharing files via SMB. If your NAS cannot run Docker, or you do not wish to deploy 4XLink, you can still configure SMB sharing to access video files stored on your NAS. |
