Leia 18.1 on Amazon FireTV Stick 4K (has 1.5GB ram)

With the following cache settings enabled, the playing of h265 video will consistently stop after a few seconds. The behavior doesn't seem to occur for h264 video. With the cache setting disabled, h265 video will playback with no issues.

    <cache>
        <buffermode>1</buffermode>
        <memorysize>139460608</memorysize>        
        <readfactor>20</readfactor>
        <curlclienttimeout>10</curlclienttimeout>
        <curllowspeedtime>10</curllowspeedtime>
    </cache>

The error seems to be here:
