Using Krypton with a Drobo5N

Help and Support Vero 2
1

In a post elsewhere, I was given the following code to place in advancedsettings.xml to stop my movies stuttering when streamed from my NAS:

<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <cachemembuffersize>104857600</cachemembuffersize>
    <readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

NB: tags hidden due being sanitised.

Are these settings still valid under Krypton?The stuttering has returned since the update to Krypton, and the advancedsettings.xml file still exists.

PS. If you use the </> pre formatted text feature, your code will be readable in your posts.

The names and tags were changed for Krypton, see here http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_cache

Edit: Fixed your post, there are code tags on the top edit list

Edit2: _ would recommend buffermode be set to 1 if you are having local filesystem issues

here is a good question since the NAS has a gigabit port why are you getting studdering ?

got the vero on wifi ? or ethernet ?

Not sure how this is relevant.

it is since if the nas has gigabit the vero2 has gigabit way does it studder if its on wifi it could be bad connection due to misplacement (too many obstacles in the way) i got a rpi and i dont get studder from my nas.

or maybe there is a bad router involved thats not up to the job, again alot of varibles

Vero 2 uses Fast Ethernet (100M). This is sufficient for full Blu-ray rips (40Mbps) and avoids flow control issues with some switches.

it’s about the cache and read ahead. nothing to do with connections (my drbo5n is cabled within a metre of the vero2), otherwise the code supplied here wouldn’t make a difference. thanks all - working now.
