Hello All,

I just received my Fire TV stick and was happy to see Kodi is supported. I promptly installed Kodi (14.0-RC1 Git:2014-11-30-ea20b83-dirty) and mapped my library from my SMB server.

I added an advanced XML with the following settings which I see are being picked up in the log:
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>157286400</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>2</readbufferfactor>
</network>
<gui>
<algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>0</nofliptimeout>
</gui>
<videoscanner>
<ignoreerrors>true</ignoreerrors>
</videoscanner>
<videolibrary>
<dateadded>0</dateadded>
</videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

Since I'm forcing it to buffer all videos it will fill the buffer but stop once it is full. These are all videos stored on my local server that I am streaming from wifi. I am receiving the following for large files:

Any thoughts on why it won't keep filling the buffer after the initial has been filled?

Thanks

Update - Upgraded to RC2 and the same issue exists. While the video no longer stops completely I see the same issue in the log. Furthermore, it seems like 0 cache completely bombs out in RC2.
