Recently we switched from ADSL 2 Mbit to fiber 30 Mbit.
During the ADSL times,
Since the switch to fiber,
To solve the "uitzending gemist" thing, I created the file ~pi/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml with the following content:
The larger the value of cachemembuffersize, the longer you can watch uitzending gemist before it breaks off.
My question is then:
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
During the ADSL times,
- watching "uitzending gemist" (on-demand replays of Dutch public television broadcasts) via the XOT-Uzg.v3 plugin worked alright.
- when watching Youtube videos via the Youtube plugin, playing often paused with a message "buffering", after which it would continue when the buffer was filled again.
Since the switch to fiber,
- when watching "uitzending gemist", after 10 minutes the picture halts and the selection screen is shown (i.e., the screen where you can select the broadcast to watch)
- watching youtube works fine now
To solve the "uitzending gemist" thing, I created the file ~pi/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml with the following content:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>26777216</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
</advancedsettings>
The larger the value of cachemembuffersize, the longer you can watch uitzending gemist before it breaks off.
My question is then:
- is this indeed the right solution to the problem, or should I pursue another one?
- if this is the right solution, what is the optimal value to put in?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
