Big performance Problems with SMB and "mpv --shuffle /Volumes/vids/2025" - 5160 small files

Hi

Hardware: Ugreen DXP2800-C754 with 2x WD Red Plus12 TB, 3.5", CMR (RAID1)
Network: Ethernet Cable for both client and NAS (no WLAN)

I have big performance Problems with SMB mounted disk and mpv --shuffle /Volumes/vids/2025. The files was on local USB Disk and worked without problems with mpv --shuffle. In this folder are 5160 small files.

Thank you

Add lines to ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf:

cache=yes
demuxer-cache-dir=/tmp

solved the issue.
