Has anyone tried changing this setting?
Default is 5242880=5 MBytes.

Default is 5242880=5 MBytes.

default on xbmc4xbox nightly is 2mb front and back buffer. (4mb in total).

I've tried changing it.

I have had streaming problems and was pointed out to this, but have not had a change to actually play around with it....

I see.
So, it's already optimized for the Xbox?
No need to play around with it?

not really, unless you are having some troubles. setting it to 0 will mean the hd is used for caching (and will cache as much as it can) which may work well for streaming on a slower connection. this is a vfs layer cache, there is the dvdplayer caches on top etc.

4MB x 3?

x3 is wrong. their wiki needs updating actually.. on xbmc4xbox its 2x this amount of ram. so 4mb in this case.

@Buzz, so if you experience buffering issues like I do, it is better to set it to 0 and have the HDD do the caching instead of increasing it to a value above 2MB, as this may cause memory issues?

I've set mine to 0 for now and everything seems to play fine, will do some more testing...

i cant answer that, as it depends what the cause of your issues. but feel fre to experiment.

Do I just put this code into advancedsettings.xml?
So it will look like this:
I ask this because I used my advancedsettings.xml only for TODDS.

Yeah.

Thanks xbs, do I also have to change the videocache settings within XBMC4Xbox it stands at 4092 kbps for both DVDplayer as for Mplayer.

I didn't change them.
