Kodi Advanced Settings For Mac

Posted on

There are some Kodi add-ons that have an interface to make these changes and write to this XML file for you, like the Easy Advanced Settings add-on in the tvaddons.ag repository. However, according to the official Kodi Wiki, the names of the XML tags have been renamed in Kodi 17.

Here are my current settings: 1 (STD Kodi uses a really small amount of RAM so it caters for RasberryPi, TV Sticks, etc so I definitely wanted to crank this up and I read you should aim for 1/4 of total system RAM) 20 (FTTP I had to try and push this a bit) They seemed to have given Kodi a new lease on life and I can stream all of the HD and HQ sources now with little to no buffering, but importantly I can also now click and drag the slider along to different spots in the movie/show and it has become a lot more seamless. This has resolved a lot of frustration on my behalf and has given Kodi a whole new lease on life. The above guides are ridiculously convoluted, for Windows simply: - copy and paste%APPDATA% kodi userdata into the Start search field and select that folder, - right click on a blank spot in the folder and select New>Text File and then name it advancedsettings, - when saving it to an XML file click save as and in 'file type' change it from '.txt' to 'all files' then end the name with '.XML.' , therefore save it as advancedsettings.xml, - cut and paste the above fields (changing the parameters to suit your system) into the file and save as an XML file again.

Post your settings and discuss your outcomes. Update: I have been exploring this issue myself for a while due to the frustration of FTTP>LAN>NUC and getting buffering 'frequently' making 1080p and HQ streamed files unwatchable. I have now found a meaningful solution and I am tweaking it slightly further overtime.

I had the same issue on my Sony Android tv with the Kodi app. I installed easy advanced settings add-on then changed some settings. One thing to note is that the cachemembuffersize value specifies only one third of the buffer it uses. IE, put in 1000 bytes, it will create 3000 bytes of buffer from ram. I am not sure of the exact reason but apparently 1000 bytes goes to input buffer, 1000 to output and 1000 more to some other stuff as well.

To determine how much buffer I could use, I ran Kodi, and checked free memory, which was 450mb, so I set cachemembuffersize to the equivalent of 100MB, as this will then consume 300MB, giving me some headroom on ram. I think the Sony android TV's have 1.5gb ram, so be careful when allocating memory to buffer because if it runs out, it crashes. I had the same issue on my Sony Android tv with the Kodi app.

Internet Explorer 11 is a Windows web browser from Microsoft, but those running OS X on a Mac can also use Internet Explorer 11 through a great free service called ModernIE from Microsoft. Once upon a time, the Mac and the Internet did not always get along. Long before Safari showed up, Netscape and Internet Explorer were busy waging a war to define the future of browsing — a future that didn't often include the Mac.
