Hi, I am currently using bitcasa to stream videos from. I have great success with most all videos but there are a bunch of 1080p mkv files that I think are just too large to play smoothly.
What I would like to do is increase the buffer size that it loads up either before or while playing to video. Is there a setting I can change to have it do this?
I am so close to having my perfect setup but this keeps bugging me
Thanks!
advancedsettings, see the wiki. cachemembuffersize
Did you manage to increase it? So what is recommended buffer size to stream 1080p files mkv files from Bitcasa?
Depends on the bitrate, but in any event will be trial and error depending on your ISP connection, the network conditions on every router between you and bitcasa.
I am maxing out my 200/100 Mbit connection to Bitcasa, so this is not an issue. I could perhaps stream Full BD. Just wondered if adjusting buffer cache might preload some movie ahead? I don't know if XBMC treats Bitcasa as internal drive and therefore cache nothing, or remote / internet stream.
Unfortunately on 9GB file I get buffering issues.
Does anyone know if
video cache options in advancedsettings.xml work for Frodo 12.2? Also which settings would be best for Bitcasa?

Xbmc treats bitcasa like a local drive - at least on windows
I have just tried this. Although caching works, it still buffer from time to time. Bitcasa speeds really sucks these days as my ISP doesn't throttle.

Thank you for this, it helped with my bitcasa streaming as well.

If you have an 200/100 you can in theory stream 4 bluray streams.

In theory yes and in fact I am able to max out my connection from different servers but not from Bitcasa app. Bitcasa app doesn't seem to be well optimized for transfer speeds as I get much better results over HTTP and this is not only mine observation:
