Constant Buffering fix

[psycon]

All credit for this goes to Alucard,
Tested myself and the results are night and day. Great work!

Below contains some Advanced Settings for cache/buffer settings. The file names have the general settings based on how much memory your device has. Copy the file to one of the following locations based on your OS. You will need to rename the file to advancedsettings.xml. Only use this if you do not have a advancedsettings.xml already. If you do then add the above to it instead.

Windows:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata

Android:
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata (make sure your file viewer can see hidden folders)

Updating Fire TV and Fire Stick.
I am assuming that you do not have a advanced settings.xml file yet.
1. Download the zip.
2. For Fire Stick extract the advancedsettings_1Gig_Mem.xml, for Fire TV extract the advancedsettings_2Gig_Mem.xml. Rename it to advancedsettings.xml
3. Now you need to copy the file to your fire stick to /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata on your Fire Stick/TV.
3. Restart Kodi.

Now getting the file to the Fire Stick can be done several ways.
1. If your computer is shared on your network, then you can use the Kodi File manager
2. Assuming you used Amazon FireTV Utility/adbfire to side load Kodi, you can use the Push File To Download Dir option and send the file over that way. Then you can use the Kodi File Manager to move it to the correct location.
3. Side load ES File Explorer and use that as a File Manager to copy the file from your computer as in #1. Or you can enable the FTP Server in ES File Explorer and use a FTP Client to copy the file over.

[Alucard]

well so much for that when i added to my firestick it was from a fresh install it's 10.27.am on stars cinema buffering/freezing like crazy it hasn't fail yet every weekend

Been there, done that, still unwatchable no matter what I watch it on.

so far my fire stick that i gave to a friend is working great for him like the post

Been there, done that, still unwatchable no matter what I watch it on.

Shortly after installing this in the proper spot I had to pull the plug out of the back for a different reason and when I rebooted and turned stalker back on there was no freezing. I had restarted kodi after putting this file on the box but it was still freezing quite badly until I pulled the plug. So I retract my original statement, it does work and quite well I might add. I've never been able to watch anything on stalker on the weekend, this is a first. I'm impressed.

I installed on Minix Neo X8-H Plus the 2gb xml file and is much better than before just still buffering a little. I guess that ocassionally buffering could be network drops something normal because all is very stable now.

Thank you for these amazing files.
