Cache settings tab
NOTE: These settings are for the XBOX ONLY and are not supported on any other platform.
Cache Settings allows you to control the amount of information that is cached in the system's memory when
playing specific types of media from different locations. Do not set these values too high, as they will
consume too many system resources and adversely affect playback!
The cache settings are divided into types and locations so those two pieces of information determine what cache
is used.
The types are:
• DVD's (including ISO's and VIDEO_TS.IFO files)
• all other Video files
• Audio files
The locations are:
• Hard Disk and DVDROM are the local Xbox hard disk and DVDROM drives.
• Internet applies to http, https, shout, mms, http, rtsp, rtp, udp, lastfm
• Local network is for the remaining protocols (smb, xbms, ftp, etc.) and where an Internet option is not
available.
The Internet - Unknown cache is special. It's only used when XBMC cannot determine if the stream is video or
audio.
