Full Version: Cache settings in guisettings.xml. Wiki not up-to-date

Sometimes I'm having occasional stuttering of 1080p x264 movies over sshfs from my server (10-15ms, 100mbit). I've mounted the sshfs in /media so I guess XBMC is thinking it's just another harddisk mount. Can anyone confirm this?

It seems the wiki page for guisettings.xml is not up-to-date.

The section I'm interested in:

Code:
<cache>
        <harddisk>256</harddisk>
    </cache>
    <cacheaudio>
        <dvdrom>256</dvdrom>
        <internet>256</internet>
        <lan>256</lan>
    </cacheaudio>
    <cachedvd>
        <dvdrom>2048</dvdrom>
        <lan>2048</lan>
    </cachedvd>
    <cacheunknown>
        <internet>4096</internet>
    </cacheunknown>
    <cachevideo>
        <dvdrom>2048</dvdrom>
        <internet>4096</internet>
        <lan>2048</lan>
    </cachevideo>

If I'm going to increase the cache for the movies on the sshfs mount should I increase "<harddisk>256</harddisk>" ?
Xbmc doesn't care, it's SSH that handles the gory details for you. I think the cache settings have long been deprecated, if you search the forums you'll find a few threads saying for streaming those cache settings don't matter.
