Cache setting in advancedsettings.xml ignored
#1
I'm trying to change my cache memory size, using this guide https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache
I've upped it to 1GB, but task manager still has Kodi using 100-150mb, and I can't notice any changes in Kodi itself.

Suspiciously, the log file says:
log:
info <general>: New Cache GUI Settings (replacement of cache in advancedsettings.xml) are:
                                                     Buffer Mode: 4
                                                     Memory Size: 20 MB
                                                     Read Factor: 4.00 x
                                                     Chunk Size : 131072 bytes
Seems like the cache setting is getting ignored? How do I change the cache settings in Kodi 21.0.0?

The clue is in the log message

Quote:New Cache GUI Settings (replacement of cache in advancedsettings.xml)

means exactly that. The advancedsettings.xml entries are no longer used so that wiki page is out of date (notice the Page updated for v18 top right means it hasn't been updated in a long time), as in v21 the settings were moved into the GUI and can be found under Settings -> Services -> Caching
