Can anyone explain the strategy for using the video cache? I took a little test.
I have a h265 encoded video source on a network with a 150 Mbps communication speed limit. The Kodi video cache has (defined in advancedsettings) a size of 900000000 bytes. Once started, video playing and the data is read from source at a maximum speed of 150 Mbps until about 700 MB is loaded into the video cache. Then the reading stops, the filling of the video cache gradually drops to 643 MB, data start reading again and this value is held until the end of video playback. I don't understand why there is a time during which the loading into the video cache stops and why the volume drops to 643 MB after the initial loading of more than 700 MB of data.
