I just did some testing on Video Cache on the Pi2 running Libre 7.0.1
Kodi wiki:
Increasing the cache
Here we can do two things:
Value: 20971520 (or any value, in bytes) - keep the cache in RAM, but increase how much RAM is used. The number is the buffer size in bytes (20971520 is the default, which is 20MB, which requires 60MB of free RAM). Kodi will not buffer ahead more than this.
Note: For the memory size set here, Kodi will require 3x the amount of RAM to be free. Setting this too high might cause Kodi to crash if it can't get enough RAM.
Now for my test:
<cachemembuffersize>209715200</cachemembuffersize> =200MB
Video cache tops out @ 90,7 MB
Running ssh... free mem running no movie: 383,2 MiB
Running ssh... free mem running movie max cache: 263,2 MiB
Running kodi system info movie max cache: 302MB free mem.
I think kodi wiki need to be updated....
