What i saw is that caching through the plugin seems slower than using Kodi's cache and "opening it up" through advancedsettings.xml (
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache).

Checking with task manager in Windows we are talking one third the speed with the plugin compared to Kodi's caching (which clearly offers less functionality).

Hmmm... I need to do more tests on this. I'll report back if I can confirm it.

You mean it uses 1/3rd the network bandwidth?

There might be better optimizations with chunk sizing, etc, that I can test. Also, I had to add a sleep that would slow down the caching to allow for KODI to listen for player interrupts. Without the sleep, it seems to miss the player stopping a video interrupt (which I use to stop a download if user sets that up).
