Annoying buffering

[Impulse]

Hi, I have the Cood-E tv for a couple of weeks now BUT I'm about to throw my device in the bin. 

If I'm watching a serie or a movie it keeps Keeps buffering. If I push play it goes on playing normal for a couple of minutes, stuttering or not at all. This is happening for the last couple of days. I have the device connected via LAN. Is there a way to avoid the whole buffering. Oh it's not with everything I watch....

Thanks

Hi Impulse,

Buffering from streams is not something we can fix, as it all depends on the host + stream size.
When using playback (playing from your local network) it should not buffer, if it does, please check your type of ethernet cables.

We advise at least CAT5e ethernet cables.

I mean: what is the source of the stream, of course

****, But today I found another add-on where I have no problems at all ( knock on wood)

I'm using a 5e Ethernet cable. I'm streaming from ****. Today I found another add-on and that one works perfect. So I'm guessing **** and it's streaming links is the problem and not my connection.

Hi,

You can do something about buffering...!
You can add some settings in the advancedsetting.XML

Read this it will tell you all about buffering and it will explain you step by step what and how you can set kodi it in the advancedsettings.

Hey, Coert.
Would you care to share which settings did you use on your advancedsettings.xml file?
Thanks.

Thanks, Coert.
I was using the default ones on the website you've mentioned. 1, 1.5, 104857600.
Will try the ones you've provided instead.

Haha kodi all ready uses the default settings... ;-p
Let me know how my settings are working for you 

[aquerido]

Well, I didn't know about Cood-E using the default settings.
I thought it was strange that the advancedsettings.xml was not there in the first place.
Anyway, your settings seem to work fine for me. At least on TV streams, the buffering is reduced to almost nothing, but I've only tried it on a wireless connection.
Couldn't find a cable long enough to try an ethernet connection.
Thanks a bunch, Coert.

Wireless is possible but you have to set up the box close to the WiFi without interference like walls and and WiFi on a quiet Chanel... Working for me ;-)
But I also use a cable because the signal is much more stable that way...
Cood-e didn't had advanced.XML file/settings out of the box right after first boot I checked and it was empty..
No it does lol ;-p and you do to :-D
Feel free to sent me a PM when having a problem / question
I'm want to assist if needed ;-)
