Dear all,
Does anyone know how I can configure xbmc to use more bandwidth than around 15-17Mbps when I stream 1080p mkv files from my remote file server? I want that xbmc should use all available bandwidth (100Mbps, tested and verified that I can transfer at that speed).
So my setup is like this;
Site#1: 250/100Mbps connection
Site#2: 250/50Mbps connection
I've got a fileserver on my Site#1 and a site-to-site OpenVPN connection between Site#1 and Site#2. On Site#2 I've configured xbmc's advancesettings.xml like this (because Site#2 is the remote site):
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>5</readbufferfactor>
</network>
I've played around a lot with readbufferfactor, but that doesn't do any difference at all. I can also start xbmc on two different clients and stream 1080p, then the bandwidth usage goes up to around 30-35Mbps. So there's also a proof that there's available bandwidth on the OpenVPN tunnel. I've also tried to use buffermode = 0 and 3.
So, what I want is that the buffer would fill upp faster because there's apparently a lot more bandwidth available than just 15-17Mbps. The playback isn't really any issue - just that I want xbmc to fill upp the buffer faster.
I use XBMC Gotham 13.2 RC1 on OSX Mavericks.
Thanks in advance!
