Windows How do i know cache has been increased?

cache size is 3x the specified. history buffer, current buffer, lookahead buffer.

Thanks Kricker for reply
the advancesettings.xml file is located in Appdata/roaming/xbnv/userdata directory that suppose tobe I think

Here is the Log file of XBMC u can check if something wrong , I streamed on more time same video stream and same result could u please look at this log:

Thanks

Code:

I think the problem might be you've defined advancedsettings twice in the XML file.

Try this instead:

Thanks tank-top for reply;
I changed as u posted
tries the same stream as u can see in my pastebin log
but same story after buffering about 15 MB this time start running and buffer again

My only guess is that the stream is not being feed to XBMC fast enough. Can you play the same stream without issue in other players?

I don't know how picky the XML reader for advancedsettings.xml is, but try removing the space before the buffer size declaration. Like so:

I tested without and without the leading space on he buffer amount and it appeared to not matter.

For me it seemed that for smb shares the xml file did not affect the actual cache size but using ftp or webdav the cache size was affected.

Im not sure why were recommending such a low (10meg??) cache to resolve this issue. I tried it myself at 10megs and it seemed to buffer less then when I didn't have anything in advancedsettings.xml. My system has 4 gigs installed ram with 3gigs available in windows so I decided to do a 512meg buffer which when set is actually 512x3=1.5gigs total xbmc buffer leaving 1.5 free for windows. Finally resolved the cache is full message on slow streams. Here is my xml file.

<cachemembuffersize>536870912</cachemembuffersize>
