Hello everyone! Newbie here. Just want to thank everyone for everything on this forum! Great job all. Quick question for the community. I have an RPi 3, which advancedsettings.xml settings work best for you all? I see so many different recommended settings, but which ones work best for the RPi 3? Thank you all and have a great day!!!

This one works for me...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<advancedsettings>
<showexitbutton>false</showexitbutton>
<fanartres>720</fanartres>
<imageres>540</imageres>
<video>
<busydialogdelayms>750</busydialogdelayms>
</video>
<samba>
<clienttimeout>30</clienttimeout>
</samba>
<network>
<readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

That's on libreelec 7.0.2 (Jarvis).
It's so good it's included in the image you install.
Anything else is specific to your use - if there was something 'better for everyone' the developers would have stuck it in the one above.
Mine wouldn't be any use to you unless your needs are the same as mine.

If everything's working well you don't need one.

Thank you for the info Trogggy. Does this help with buffering issues?. I see a lot of zero cache settings, and many others that are said to be useful for helping with buffering problems. Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on what seems to work best for them. Thanks again!

If you are on the Krypton builds, the network tags have been changed
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_cache

I've been using these settings (Kyrpton) and it seemed to help my buffering issues

Code:

<cache>
<memorysize>157286400</memorysize>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<readfactor>4.0</readfactor>
</cache>

I use 0 as the cache size setting and it hasn't let me down ever. Depends on your SD card specs really, you would need a fast one (Class 10 or better) with enough free space to use 0 efficiently. Also you probably need a new SD card every few years.

It won't really "help" in that it doesn't make anything load faster. It just makes the buffer used to smooth out bumps much bigger than RAM can handle, but video still loads just as slowly.

So if i use <cachemembuffersize> and <readbufferfactor> tags on kodi 17 Krypton will not work?

They have new names in Kodi 17, see http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_...17_changes

I use these in libreelec 7.0.3.
Works fine!

<advancedsettings>
<pvr>
<minvideocachelevel>20</minvideocachelevel>
<minaudiocachelevel>10</minaudiocachelevel>
</pvr>
</advancedsettings>

Does only work for kodi 16. Not 17 and above since they changed the buffer settings in kodi 17.
