ref: ki14 Back to TopAVM routers are very common in Germany. These routers block TCP Port 445 port-forwarding, which means that SMB port-forwarding from the Internet cannot be used. However, they provide a built-in VPN server which is a much better way to connect your iPad or iPhone over 3G to your home network. The following links detail how to configure the VPN server on the router and configure your iPhone or iPad VPN client to connect to it.

ref: ki16 Back to TopLocation data is embedded within the Image file itself, so iOS enforces the rule that to access photos, an app must be enabled for location services.
FileBrowser doesn't enable GPS or other location features (the 'compass needle' icon never appears in the top status bar) however the iOS APIs we need to use to access photo library data don't work unless location services are enabled.
ref: ki19 Back to TopSome customers have reported stuttering whilst playing audio and video files. Customers have reported that this problem goes away after rebooting their iPad. If this doesn't resolve the problem, please check your WiFi signal strength.
ref: ki20 Back to TopWD MyCloud NAS drives need to be configured to use SMB1 instead of the default SMB2 to permit FileBrowser to connect to them. This setting can be found in the WD MyCloud admin UI under SETTINGS>Network>Windows Services.
ref: ki27 Back to TopSome NAS drives require FileBrowser's "Compatibility Mode" setting to be switched on. This setting can be found in the "Advanced Settings" section of the machine config page. Your NAS drive may also need FileBrowser's "Enable NetBIOS" setting to be switched on.
ref: ki21 Back to TopThe most recent firmware on WD NAS drives require FileBrowser's "Compatibility Mode" to be switched OFF.
ref: ki22 Back to TopWe have had a number of customers report a problem where they are unable to connect to their NAS drive and every username/password is rejected. This has been tracked down to these NAS drives running a very old version of Samba (3.0.10). FileBrowser version 1.7 and above now includes a "Compatibility Mode" option in the Advanced section of the machine settings page. Setting this to "ON" will allow connections to NAS drives such as these.
ref: ki23 Back to TopIf the file copy rate from a Windows machine to FileBrowser is 450KB/s or less, this may be improved by modifying the registry. This slow speed is due to the SMB protocol requiring a number of round-trips to the server for each chunk of the file, combined with the default behaviour of Windows which is to use a small buffer, requiring many more round trips to get the data.
The Microsoft article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223140 documents how to add a "SizReqBuf" entry in the registry (we set it to 65535 decimal) to allow a buffer of 65535 bytes to be used. This is the largest value possible and in our case allowed the transfer rate increase to over 2.5MB/sec. Some FileBrowser users have informed us that this setting allowed their iPad 4 to transfer faster than 5MB/s.
