You can enable the Codec Info overlay, which is "O" on the keyboard, as this will display real-time bitrates. You can also map this to a remote control button.

Absolutely not - the file on those sites just duplicates the system defaults in most cases and adding it is a really bad idea. If the defaults change in a future build you'll be stuck with old (and likely unsuitable) values. Any build should include suitable defaults so that it works out of the box without a user supplied advancedsettings.xml.
You can see your system default advancedsettings.xml file here:
Code:
cat /usr/share/xbmc/system/advancedsettings.xmlSpecifying the exact same default settings in your own advancedsettings.xml file is a bat sh1t crazy thing to do.
Only add your own advancedsettings.xml if a) you know what you are doing and b) you really do need to tweak specific values away from the defaults.
