I noticed that fast-forwarding would become "jerky" after just a few seconds, which I resolved by creating the advancedsettings.xml file with the following content:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <cachemembuffersize>52428800</cachemembuffersize>
    <readbufferfactor>10</readbufferfactor>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

This resolved the issue nicely by using more of the RAM for cache to buffer, and using as much network as it needs.

However, this did not appear to improve the "rewind" functionality which is more "jerky" than the fast-forward ever was. Is there a way to cache the "past" of a video so that one can rewind with the smooth "preview" that I can see for fast-forwarding?

rewind is different because you can't decode a video in reverse direction. actually rewind is seek back and decode forward until decoder spits out a frame, seek back, .... and so on. it can't ever get as smooth as ff.
