More details about “memorysize” from cache settings - Kdmeizk - 2018-01-18 Kodi 17.6 OS: OSMC Device: Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ Webpage related: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO%3AModify_the_video_cache#Cache_settings Hello, I would like to know more precisely how <memorysize> works. I tested <memorysize> with numbers like 40MB, 60MB, 80MB and even 150MB. I have a test file with bitrate peaks of 200Mb/s (the maximum readrate of the device where the file is read is around 180Mb/s) and it does not change anything: the video stops at the same time, regardless the value of <memorysize>, then continues and stops again on the other peaks. For your information: – I had “gpu_mem=256MB” in the “config.txt” during the tests; – <memorysize> works at least with the value 0 → it caches to the physical device; – I read about <memorysize> which needs 3x the amount of this setting, I looked at the memory taken while playing the video and it is the same for each value, I have 100MB (= 800Mb) of free RAM during the video playback, from the beginning to the end; – The test file is read from an external HDD. Thank you for your understanding. RE: More details about “memorysize” from cache settings - host505 - 2018-01-20 I assume you've set buffermode to value 1 as well? RE: More details about “memorysize” from cache settings - Kdmeizk - 2018-01-20 I tried <buffermode> with value 0 and 1 yes. The only perceptible difference is with the value 1, which sometimes displays a warning “Read Rate Low For Continuous Playback”. But with these two values, I still have 100MB of free RAM during the video playback. |
