Vero V - Cache

Greetings,

Last night while watching a movie, when i looked at the “I” (information) I noticed that the processor “cache” was 99%, is this normal?

You’re talking about this, right?

Assuming so, then yes, that is normal. That is telling you that the player has filled almost the entire cache with video for playback. That’s actually a good thing. If you’re player cache were at like 3%, it would indicate you were close to running out of video in the cache, which would mean you were close to a pause while the player buffers new data.

Keep in mind that the linux kernel will use by default any available RAM/Memory as cache to speed things up.

Great, thanks you both for the reply
