Has 17b1 stopped using advancedsettings.xml?

Problem with FLAC playback (3 gaps in playback) that has been fixed for a while using different buffer settings in the xml is back in 17

[TRiON]

the settings changed, see the changelog, I had the same problem

2.8.4 cache
FUTURE KRYPTON FEATURE:
In the upcoming Kodi v17, the following tags are removed from <network> and placed under a new <cache> tag. Also, <cachemembuffersize> is renamed to <memorysize> and <readbufferfactor> is renamed to <readfactor>.
See also: HOW-TO:Modify the cache
<cache>
<memorysize>0</memorysize> <!-- number of bytes used for buffering streams in memory
When set to 0 the cache will be written to disk instead of RAM -->
<buffermode>0</buffermode> <!-- Choose what to buffer:
0) Buffer all internet filesystems (like "2" but additionally also ftp, webdav, etc.) (default)
1) Buffer all filesystems (including local)
2) Only buffer true internet filesystems (streams) (http, etc.)
3) No buffer -->
<readfactor>4.0</readfactor> <!-- this factor determines the max readrate in terms of readbufferfactor * avg bitrate of a video file.
This can help on bad connections to keep the cache filled. It will also greatly speed up buffering. Default value 4.0. -->
</cache>

Thanks for the heads up man, sorted

Edit: Seems to be resolved in latest nightly


No it isnt.

Setting Buffermode to 1, which is the primary fix for the FLAC playback problem, now causes all music files not to play at all. Remove that line and music can be played but with the 3 gaps intermittently rather than every song.
