In the old Codec display, on the "C" line there was a display for % of buffer full and overall cache size. It is no longer visible in the latest version of your fine skin. Is it possible that could be put back in? It is very useful for determining the speed of a stream and for diagnosing other issues.
Thanks!

I would like that as well.
But the info you see in the dialog is all that's currently available for skins.

Will they expose it again or is it gone?

I don't know.
I wouldn't count on it coming back.

I use it all the time when a stream stutters to check how fast or slow the buffer is building or not.
Also to see how hard the CPUs are being worked.
I hope they do bring it back.
Can't imagine why something so useful would be removed :-(

Only what is already visible.
Progress cache level and buffering is displayed in the OSD seekbar - bottom right.
Unless we are talking about two different things?

You could be correct!!
What I look at on 16.1 is:-
forward:XXX.X MB on the C line (starting at 1 at the top it's the 5th line displayed on my system) where I believe XXX.X is the amount of buffering, I look at amount and how fast it increases to give me an idea of how fast the stream is arriving.
Next line down W, (CPU0: XX% CPU2: XX%) which shows me how loaded the CPUs are
If what I have posted is clear enough are you able to tell me if this information is available in Kodi 17?

I'm aware that some useful info is not available anymore.
I have included all available info in the fullscreen OSD, dialogs etc.
If additional info is made available for skins, I'll include that as well.

The cache level indicator in the seekbar dialog from the screenshot above is in all versions of the skin.
