#1
Good morning
Someone else been having buffering issues when streaming HDR content over the network with the new Kodi Leia ?
Using Nvidia Shield

This never happened to me before when I was using Kodi Krypton 17.6

If you use SMB - use something else and retry.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I was getting crazy buffering problems on my Shield. With some searching I found that I needed to specify cache settings in the advancedsettings.xml. Here's what's in my advancedsettings and I currently get no buffering problems at all: The cache section was what I added, the rest was in the default file on the Shield.

<advancedsettings>
 <musiclibrary>
  <backgroundupdate>true</backgroundupdate>
 </musiclibrary>
 <videolibrary>
  <cleanonupdate>false</cleanonupdate>
 </videolibrary>
 <video>
  <ignorepercentatend>10</ignorepercentatend>
  <playcountminimumpercent>90</playcountminimumpercent>
  <ignoresecondsatstart>60</ignoresecondsatstart>
 </video>
 <cache>
  <memorysize>104857600</memorysize>
  <buffermode>1</buffermode>
  <readfactor>10</readfactor>
 </cache>
</advancedsettings>

Anyone could read from the debug log why is playback of 1080p videos shuddering? Any help highly appreciated.

I don't think your Atom has enough power to software decode HEVC @ 1080p.

@"runningnaked" thank you sir, I was afraid of that, just wasn't sure whether some other setting has impact on it.
