Advanced settings XML on 7.95.1 beta

  • Hi, on the official wiki I read about a change in Kodi 17 for some tags in advancedsettings.XML.

    this is the right way to configure the cache parameters?

    I'm confused. This settings seems not sort any kind of effects on my rpi3

  • What kind of effects are you seeing to want to have cache settings?

    I too did try to update the cache settings when I went from Kodi 16 to Kodi 17 but found (after some advice from this forum) it's better to remove the Cache settings entirely from advancedsettings.xml. Kodi manages it all itself now and there should be no need for a manual configuration as the old <minvideocachelevel>, <minaudiocachelevel>, and <cacheindvdplayer> settings in Kodi 16 and below were a work around.

    "Safe" cache settings I guess for a RPI3 on Kodi 17 would be somthing like:

    Code
    <advancedsettings>
    <cache>
      <memorysize>139460608</memorysize> 
      <buffermode>1</buffermode> 
      <readfactor>20</readfactor>
    </cache>
    </advancedsettings>
  • I'm trying to tune this settings to improve the buffering for streaming video (via Internet). On the old Kodi version the cache buffering works like expected, bit on Kodi 17 is not the same things. I'll try your setting, thanks for the advice

  • Try this below without including "curlclienttimeout" or "curllowspeedtime".


    The problems could also be on the other end(servers you are streaming from).
