hi everybody,

i'm using xmbp and xbmc with a wireless bridge (dwl-810) because of the distance between my xbox and stream server.

in xbmp, i can set special value for video cache size :

     <share>
       <name>divx</name>
       <url>$root$[email protected]</url>
       <cachesize>8192</cachesize>
     </share>

in xbmc, movies freeze for 1-2 seconds when a network slowdown occurs.

so, where i can set the cache size value in xbmc ?

thanks a lot...

i was just wondering the same thing over at xbox-scene. it sucks to have to ftp movies over to use ac3 passthru.

im getting choppy playback of my audio files (.m4a and .mp3)
so i tried to add <cachesize>1024</cachesize>
but i noticed that it makes no difference.

i´m thinking maybe the <cachesize> tag is changed
to something else, like <buffer> or something..
is this so or am i way out of line here?

does anyone have any insight on this issue? when i play video files over a wireless connection (using smb), certain scenes (possibly high motion?) will lock up and chop through really slowly. these are specific areas of time and it does the same thing every time. i think it's probably a cache/buffer related issue since these sections play fine when the file is stored locally on the xbox hdd.

from changelog:
2003-12-07
added: use 8 meg cache for remote & dvd files. use 1 meg for local files
i think its hardcoded to these values. change in mplayer.cpp and build?

 // setup the cache size mplayer uses
 int icachesize=1024;
// for dvd/cd's or remote shares we use 8 megs
 if (cutil::isdvd(strfile) || cutil::isiso9660(strfile) || cutil::isremote(strfile) )
 {
   icachesize=8192;
 }
 
 // for audio files we dont need a cache
 if (cutil::isaudio(strfile) && !cutil::isvideo(strfile) )
 {
   icachesize=0;
 }

 // for shoutcast, use cache of 256 kbyte
 if ( cutil::isshoutcast(strfile) )
 {
   icachesize=256;
 }
