Anyone can explain why i can't play a 10GB .mkv file over

Because samba is shit and your network is shit

RasPi's ethernet probably isn't enough for that kind of streaming. Try playing from an external device. If doesn't work, probably the media player you're trying doesn't support that codec and ethernet is innocent. I'm putting my money on codec thing.

You're essentially streaming the data over from a remote device, so you need adequate network speed, for one. I dunno the exact mechanics of how a video player loads a video or how much of the file it needs before it can properly render said video, but you might have better luck trying different players, or simply copy the file over and play it locally and delete it when you're done. If you think about it, either way, the 10GB of video is going to be sent to your machine, so might as well use a standard copy and read it locally right?

You could also try alternate players. IIRC VLC originally rose to fame because it was an awesome player for streaming over LAN, it was even originally called VideoLAN; it was also great at playing broken or incomplete video files. I'm not sure if that's still the case in this day and age, but hey, worth a shot.

The codec is HEVC or x265 i don't know much but is what says,i tried play on MPC-HC (Windows) on another computer over samba,and over samba on MPV (OS X) and the same result,very slowly... and i can't get past 5 minutes without the player stop and wait over a minute for play the scene
Sorry for my broken English anyway

Well there's your problem. There's no way the Pi can handle h.265, that requires hefty CPU power to decode. You're attempting to shove a cock the size of your arm down your Pi's throat and she obviously can't take it. You need a machine with a modern i5 or some kind of GPU accelerated decoding if you want h.265, I've even seen my mom's core2duo machine choking on h.265 videos. Abandon hope, anon.

you fall for the meme

try copying the file over and see how fast it transfers it. then check to see if it transferred it correctly.

VLC also plays valid files like they were broken.

>10 mkv
why? do you fags really watch videos with similar filesize?
I don't download anything over 2GB but maybe is because I don't masturbate to 2D cartoons and for my eyes resolutions higher than 720p is just placebo and marketing bullshit
also a raspberry pi2 can't even decode 1080p
