Video bufer for H/W mode players

Setting the buffer size works on ZDMC (Kodi)
Buffer 300Mb
Create file advancedsettings.xml with the contents:
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>314572800</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

copy this file to Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata
Here are the results:


We need to do these settings for system player and other working in the H/W mode!

 

Hi
we will check this suggestion.

 

Yes its really needed!

 

Hi
it can change the buffer for the HW player.
those are two method:
1: go to the adb shell, then input
setprop rtk.buffering.fullness 16777216
16777216 means 16*1024*1024, 16M

2: if you did change this setting every time, it can change the /system/build.prop
add this:
rtk.buffering.fullness=16777216

 

where is located exactly Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata ?
I cannot find it using ftp or ssh only from inside app on zidoo...

 

Dont work this method.
How to verify that the buffer is increased? I have not changed.

 

I agree you need to increase the the video buffer, but i haven't got a clue on how to do what you suggested with the ADB shell.

 

How can we modify this file?
Isn't it a file modifiable only with root access?
Isn't the content of this file also the possible cause of wrong "root access" detected by some apps?

 

It works with ZDMC, i can confirm.

 

We know it works with ZDMC it is Zidoo player that needs the fix, it is starting to get very annoying...
If i plug Movie1.mkv in via USB it plays fine in Zidoo player.
The exact same file from Network (NFS or SMB) jumps a frame every couple of seconds.
With the Buffer fix in ZDMC the exact same file plays fine from network if disable external player.
We need fix for Zidoo player, please instruct us how.
Thank You.

 

It is interesting, i can play from smb shares 4K/DTS files without any problems....

 

Is this with Zidoo player, not ZDMC?
Have you tried 1080p HEVC with DTS-HD not normal DTS and 4k with Atmos?

 

yes, it is zidoo player, not zdmc....
unfortuantely i dont have such files right now. The jellyfish 100 mbs-hd-hevc.mkv plays fine, the jellyfish 120 mbs-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv plays also fine
These has no sound.
Otherwise right now im playing 3840*1606x23.98, 6 ch DTS 48kHz... it works really nice.
If you have some troublesome mkv available, ill gladly check it.

 

The problem is with every file containing Atmos/TrueHD... doesn't matter if it's 4k or 1080p. There is a 300msec audio lag and and a few frames jump in the video every few sec.
For me it happens with files located on a HDD connected to the USB3.0 port.
Very annoying. Ziddo has to fix this

 

Same probs with Atmos from USB3 or network, very annoying.

 

@mirror, @freeroc You found a way how to increase the network buffer?
