Video streams are no longer cached in the XBMC 14 builds. They all all read the advancedsettings.xml correctly, but do not use any of the caching settings. Verified the behaviour on several systems.
Has there been a design change on this? Latest version tested is 14.0~git20140406.0501-1fb475d-0saucy
I have directly attached storage to the system running XBMC, but the only way to make 100% sure the player is not I/O starved at some point during a movie is to enable caching.
DEBUG log for non-working cachemembuffersize: http://pastebin.com/pvDSJRBa (XBMC version 14.0~git20140406.0501-1fb475d from the FernetMenta-Master branch.)
DEBUG log for working cachemembuffersize: http://pastebin.com/2qZvGtQs (XBMC version 13.0~git20131003.0500-a662ab2 from the Xvba branch)
Both use the same advancedsettings.xml. Not sure if the debug logs are helpful wrt. this issue, but providing them nonetheless.
btw., this is on a test system with Pulseaudio, so ignore the PA crap in the logs.
