Is this still kosher w 12.0.1 for an rPi 4 8gb ?!?

    Haven't nuked my setup in some time... but does advancedsettings.xml still go in the userdata folder ?

    Real q being, ignoring my mem use, this code still work ? Bec as far as I can tell, it doesn't... the status bar doesn't seem to show the buffer during playback like it use to.

    Code
    <advancedsettings>
	<cache>
		<buffermode>1</buffermode>
		<memorysize>6979321856</memorysize>
		<readfactor>1000</readfactor>
	</cache>
</advancedsettings>

    Ty.

    Okay basically ignore this, seeing as I found what should work with cache settings in the menu system, untested for me.


    But it seems memory size only goes up to 1 gigabyte, any way to significantly increase that ?!?


    With respect to the LE developers, I have an 8 GB system. I don't see why we can't exactly customize that like we technically, well... really used to be able to. At least up to 4gb anyway, I know there's probably a way to override it like we use to. I just haven't come upon it yet, but gonna do some streaming for a bit.

    The settings moved to the GUI so advancedsettings.xml isn't required.

    Also note that unless your network is broken, changes to the caching defaults are not (or are only rarely) required. If your network is broken enough to need more than 1GB of cache to support playback, the correct solution is fixing the network, not forcing Kodi to use some ridiculous cache value that will add more problems than it solves.

    Well as a developer you seem to be using ignorance is bliss for why I even want it.


    Hell, true developer would think of atleas one valid reason, not assume my sjits broken when I guarantee it's better than yours.

    In any event, don't act like it's something that can't be changed, we both know it can be and I just have to find it.

    And that's a serious problem? If so, I can move this thread to bug reports.

    PS: Just in case you didn't catched it: <memorysize> is a sub-tag of <cache>, so we talk about cache size, not RAM size.

    1GB of cache is a lot on a video stream, so devs are surprised.
