[h=2]How to cache to External SDcard speed up video buffering, faster and smoother video streaming.[/h]
Hi all,
After an extensive search for the answer for the below issues, I believe I found the solutions:
a) Commoncache error if attempted to edit Advancedsettings.xml file to do path substitution to SDcard
b) Long buffering while watching movies, specially 720/1080 movies.
c) Looking for faster and smoother video streaming playback
d) cache loads faster when try to click on "date release", "new movies", "all 720 movies" etc...
e) Cache full message after buffering.
Solution:
** Make sure you buy a class 10 high speed card (30mb/sec) and FORMAT with ext4 or exFAT or FAT32.
1) Download an app called "External to Internal", launch the app and make sure the internal and external sdcard path are configured correctly
In the app settings:
Internal path - /mnt/scdard
External path - /mnt/external_sd
Put a check on "Rescan"
In the app Main menu, make sure "on boot" is checked then tab on the internal->external button. You should received a popup notification ->"swap done".
To verify, use root explorer or ES file explorer to check directory /mnt/external_sd. You should see the exact folders layout as directory /mnt/sdcard.
2) If you are using Advancedsettings.xml file, make a backup. Install xbmctalk maintenance program from Xunitytalk. After installed you should see it under PROGRAMS. Launch this, select xbmctalk TWEAKS, then select "Add 0 cache Advanced XML". This will create a new Advancedsettings.xml file.
Note: you can skip step 2 if you know how to config your own Advancedsettings.xml file for 0 cache limit.
3) Reboot your device and enjoy smoother, faster movie play back.
