Streaming buffer size for videos
#1
I have a problem with internet connection that seems to be to slow to catch up with streaming on-demand program.
I tried increasing cachemembuffersize to 6MB in the advancedsettings.xml:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <network>
        <cachemembuffersize>6291456</cachemembuffersize>
    </network>
</advancedsettings>

This doesn't seem to make any difference. Did the following patch make it to the atv2 branch: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10772 ?

I also tried following changes without any effect:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <!-- Valid sizes: 256,512,1024,2048,4096,8192,16384 -->
    <cacheunknown>
        <internet>4096</internet>
    </cacheunknown>
    <cachevideo>
        <internet>8192</internet>
    </cachevideo>
</advancedsettings>

The way I was testing after changing the advanced settings:
  1. Open a .flv stream and press "pause"
  2. Wait for 5 minutes to allow memory buffer to fill
  3. Continue playing the stream

Can anyone offer advice on whether I am using the right settings?
If this is still not configurable, could ios devs help promote this patch to the atv2 branch?

Thanks for the great work on ios version!

there is no 'atv2' branch, all code is from git head.
