Recently I started streaming 4k HDR over the internet, primarily using the YouTube add-on. I am using the LAN Ethernet connection on the Vero V with a maximal WAN speed of 600 Mbit/s.
I thought it might come in handy if we share our settings for both InputStream Adaptive and the OSMC system-related caching settings (Settings > Services > Caching)
InputStream Adaptive:
- Stream selection: Manual OSD
- Maximum Resolution: 4k
- Maximum Resolution DRM: 4k
- Manual stream selection mode: Videostreams
- Ignore HDCP Status: ON
- Expert Settings, Media Stream Type: All
InputStream Adaptive - alternative Setting:
- Stream selection: Adaptive (default)
- Maximum Resolution: 4k
- Maximum Resolution DRM: 4k
- Automatically determine initial bandwidth: OFF
- Initial Bandwidth: 200000 kbit/s
- Minimum Bandwidth: 10000000 kbit/s
- Maximum Bandwidth: 80000000 kbit/s
- Ignore HDCP Status: ON
- Expert Settings, Media Stream Type: All
OSMC caching settings:
- Buffer mode: All internet file systems
- Memory size: 256 MB
- Read Factor: 7x
- Data block size: 256 KB
I wonder if there are better settings for a connection as I have it, and would be happy for any experiences, feedback or advice.
