    kingoffighter... A new addon called TT Kodi Buffer fix calculates the memorysize differently.
    They say take the free memory size of your box (in my case =6870 MB minus 500MB to reserve for the system, leaving about 6400 MB).
    Then the formula they use is 6400 divided by 3 and multiplied by 1024x1024 (twice).
    I have a box using 100MBPS ISP speed, and a 4 GB Ram.

    What do YOU think??

    Step 6 is wrong. It's for earlier versions of Kodi. <CacheMemBufferSize> has been changed to <memorysize>

    Step 8 is wrong. It's for earlier versions of Kodi. <readbufferfactor> has been changed to <readfactor>

    From the Wiki:

    Kodi v17 changes

    In Kodi v17, the cache-related tags were removed from <network> and placed under a new <cache> tag. In addition, the following tags were renamed:

    <cachemembuffersize> was renamed to <memorysize>
    <readbufferfactor> is renamed to <readfactor>

    4 Examples

    NOTICE:
    These are just examples to explain how the feature works. Most users will just want to use example 4.


    4.1 Example 1

    All three options enabled, using local hard drive for cache.
    Stop hand.png Do not use this for flash-based memory devices.

    advancedsettings.xml

    <advancedsettings>
    <cache>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <memorysize>0</memorysize>
    <readfactor>30</readfactor>
    </cache>
    </advancedsettings>
    4.2 Example 2

    Only cache size changed, using 100MB of RAM for cache (which requires 300MB of free RAM).

    advancedsettings.xml

    <advancedsettings>
    <cache>
    <memorysize>104857600</memorysize>
    </cache>
    </advancedsettings>
    4.3 Example 3

    Two options enabled, using 50MB of RAM for cache (which requires 150MB of free RAM), and cache both internet, LAN, and local content.

    advancedsettings.xml

    <advancedsettings>
    <cache>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <memorysize>52428800</memorysize>
    </cache>
    </advancedsettings>
    4.4 Example 4

    A safe setting for most devices with 1GB of RAM that should help most users "on the edge". All protocols get cached, cache rate fills up pretty much as fast as possible, and cache size is about 133MB, using about 400MB of ram total.

    advancedsettings.xml

    <advancedsettings>
    <cache>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <memorysize>139460608</memorysize>
    <readfactor>20</readfactor>
    </cache>
    </advancedsettings>
