Me too, which is why I submitted a feature request for it yesterday, see http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4640
Post a comment there (more comments in trac shows developers that it is wanted)
Will probably not be implemented until Atlantis 'Gold' have been released though.

Hi,
I've recently switched from a MythTV setup to XBMC and so far, everything is working really well.
I have one question though. The machine I'm using has 2GB of RAM. In the past, I setup MythTV so that mPlayer would take 1GB of whatever file it was playing in its cache (most often, the whole thing). The reason I did this is because the files being accessed sit on another machine and are made available through NFS.
Is there a way to increase the cache XBMC takes to those same levels? I've maxed out the settings in the interface (Settings/System/Cache) to as high as they will go (4MB for local and 16MB for network) but the video gets lost when going above 4x-8x fast forward. I figure having more cached upfront would probably cure this. Also, NFS might be seen by the system as being local and having even less cache taken.
Since this isn't a bug, I don't know that you need all the data for my machine but here it is just in case:
Ubuntu 8.04 i686 up-to-date as of August 26th running XBMC from PPA (SVN:15111) as for the hardware, AMD Athlon X2 64 4200+ w/ 2GB of RAM and a GeForce 6600.
Debug Log: http://pastebin.com/m7f2b6486
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thanks.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks for the heads-up.

Would it really be that time consuming to add this feature? Low caching buffer is a really turn off for us that rely on a wireless network to watch video files, in fact i just paused a small mediacenter project i was planning using and old pc because watching a video files becomes a nightmare sometimes

Note that if you really want this feature then you should also be +1'ing the trac ticket http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4640

I was looking for that option on the tracker and forgot to ask, I can't see it, do I have to register also there to vote it?

Login with the same username and password that you have here in the forums, then just post/add a comment in the existing ticket.

ff is likely not limited by filesystem. more likely it's decoding speed.

I thought the cache settings in the GUI only applied to MPlayer on Xbox, and therefor could be removed from linuxport. AFAIK DVDPlayer uses an auto-sized buffer, which increases/decreases depending on the average buffer-level over time....But maybe I'm completely wrong here....
