Hi All,

I am setting up my advanced settings for cache management on Kodi Matrix 19.4 to improve performance and I was wondering if anyone on here has any recommendations for what I should put in for the three settings of...

buffermode
memorysize
readfactor

As you probably already know, these machines run 2g ram and 16g rom.
I am running android 7.1.2 on u9-h and lollipop on x8-h plus.

Cheers,

look at guidance from >> https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache

or try

<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>209715200</memorysize>
<readfactor>20</readfactor>
</cache>



but dont expect miracles. Most buffering issues start at the source and not the minix
 
Thank you @pusb87 . I looked at the Kodi link and I set it up for what they recommend for someone with 1g ram (just to be on the safe side).
Most of the time I don't get performance issues but for the days that I do, I am hoping that the buffering will at least minimize it. At the very least, scanning and seeking should be a bit better with the increased buffering . Time will tell.

Thanks again and Cheers,
 
I tested out my new KODI "advancedsettings" on a poor connection which would normally cause stuttering and frequent buffering delays but I noticed that the streams came through smooth and consistent. I am extremely happy with my new settings.

I also noticed that my scan and seek responded much better and faster.

One final validation, just to make sure that KODI is actually using the new settings, I checked the KODI debug logs and saw that Kodi is indeed interpreting them.

If anyone is interested, the settings I used for both my machines are:

<advancedsettings>
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>139460608</memorysize>
<readfactor>20</readfactor>
</cache>
</advancedsettings>
