On a Fire TV, I have tried to set the buffer to different settings and I have come to understand that if you set the advancedsettings.xml settings
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
<buffermode>0</buffermode>
<readbufferfactor>20</readbufferfactor> I have tried 1 all the way up to 100000 and it is still the same amount video precached when play a video from an http:// source
With cachemembuffersize set to 0 the cache will be on the disk rather than keeping it in the memory, and I thought that it could cache a video up to the amount of free space on the disk. When I play the video and pause it, kodi will cache about 2-3% of video past the point it is at and then it will stop. I know it stops because I have a montitor showing the speed of each internet connection and it completely stops with a very small amount of video in cache. Is there a way to make kodi continue to download the video until the end if space permits so that away if the stream connection is slow I would be able to pause the video cache to build so i can watch it at a point that the cache is built up enough that i do not have to worry about it stopping to buffer every couple minutes due to the slow connection.
Any help would be great if there is way to set an amount of video to cache when it written to disk that would be great. I would like to set it to like 2-2.5 GB so no matter what I am watching if I give a few minutes to build on a slow connection i will be able to watch uninterrupted from buffering.
I am trying to watch the interview on youtube, it played fine for the first half of the movie but during the second half, every couple minutes it buffers.
Thank You
