Accidenetly navigating through http streams causes problems and pausing and them resuming usually timesout so was wondering if it was possible to have an option in settings that allowed you instead of playing the file you find to tell xbmc to start storing the file and then start playing from the stored file.

Would allow navigation and not worrying about time outs?

make this as a plain text document, name it as advancedsettings.xml, place it in the userdata (wiki) folder:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
     <network>
          <cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
     </network>
</advancedsettings>

Yep i have that enabled i think my wording was bad :/

I would love an option in the settings ( almost allowing timeshift or pvr like functions for any source ) that you could set a file size limit on the disk cache buffer so that xbmc doesnt discard the cache but allows you to rewind and pause

The same thing worded slightly differently if i open a live internet stream xbmc will start playing the stream anything that it has shown is discarded ( if you accidently navigate it crashes xbmc ) so instead of xbmc opening the stream wouldnt it be better to get xbmc to download the stream and at the same time start playing the file that is being downloaded. This would enable pvr like functions on live streams users could rewind to parts they had seen. Obviously this would need a setting allowing the user to set the maximum amount of time to store but would be a brilliant feature

That's what using 0 does. It write cache to disk, and can then cache the whole video file.
