No PVR buffer? - halikus - 2016-04-03
I have been using Kodi forever and never really looked into CodecInfo before. I noticed that after setting buffermode to 1 that the buffer fills properly (forward:7.5mb) when playing local media, but remains at zero (forward:0) when i try to play an online stream. I can provide more info, but thought i would keep it simple as this seems like a simple answer. I know it's possible because i know of an addon used by a friend that fills the buffer when playing an online stream. Everything technically works in my setup, but enabling the online cache would make it rock solid.
In a basic advancedsettings.xml i simply have this. I know i can add a few other settings, but this is as simple as it can get with simply enabling the cache for local (hopefully all) streams.
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
</network>
</advancedsettings>
