The playerdebug overlay (shift+ctrl+o) displays a buffer/cache status level and when seeking I can see it quickly increasing from (almost) zero to 98-100%. During playback it's typically at that 98-100% level.

Is that a different buffer than the normal video cache and managed by inputstream.adaptive? If yes, are there any ways to tweak that?

I currently have no need to tweak any buffer/cache settings, it's working fine here, but I'm curious about how this stuff works :)

If playerdebug overlay shows "forward:0 B 100%" then it is not caching the video file ("0 B" means "0 bytes", which is the amount of data that has been cached). In this case the percentage "buffer" is more or less the same as the current remaining video queue (vq:).

With <buffermode>1</buffermode> (cache local and internet files):

No caching (Netflix):



Caching (local file, nfs://):



Due to the nature of inputstream.adaptive stream I don't believe caching has been, or will be, implemented.
