Hello,
as I couldn't google a solution for my problem, I hope you can help.
My computer in living room is connected via a wifi bridge. If I try to watch 1080p/720p material from my smb-share of my Windows server this results in heavy buffering sometimes, although I can get a throughput of 11 MB/s.
I solved this in Frodo by raising the cache to 512 MB. Cache was filled quickly (around 50 seconds) and then there was always engouh in cache I could watch a 1080p movie with no buffering in between.
With Helix this does not work anymore. While buffering it only reads at speeds of around 500 kB/s to 1 MB/s. My advancedsettings.xml looks like this:
Changeing readbufferfactor does not have any affect. Tried values from 4-20 or 4.0-20.5.
Debug.log while starting initial buffering of a 1080p movie:

Hope you have an idea why he does not read as fast as he could.
