|You can increase the cache size. You need to find out how much free ram
|you have. Then divide by 3 and leave a little wiggle room. I have my 4k
|max v1 set to 192mb Also can increase the read ahead I have mines set
|to 10x This should help. But 90gb is a heavy demand on a relatively low
|powered device.

|i found lowering read factor to 2x provides higher consistent fps, but
|depends on device.

|
|Yeah. A slower read ahead should lower CPu usage

|Which version of kodi are you using and whats your internet speed?
|u/SatisfactionRare429 - 23 hours

|Why would you downgrade Kodi?
|u/Sea_Attorney_9894 - 23 hours
|
|I had a few buffering issues with movies with very high bit
|rates(80-100) so I tried downgrading for some reason it worked
|very well for me.

|Increase your memory size to 512 MB and set your read factor to
|Adaptive.

|What about the chunk size?
|u/donutmiddles - 1 day
|
|You can keep that at the default 128 KB.

|Firestick is going to be problematic for files of this size. Invest in
|a cube or shield or something.

|i use a firestick 4k and have absolutely no problem playing 100gb+

|I want to upgrade to the shield but I’m patiently waiting for the 2nd
|one to come out, the tv cube I have to look how fast the Ethernet port
|is, I’m running a wired connection now via an otg cable and gigabit

|I hate to say it but I don’t think it’ll happen. I bounced around
|all the newer devices myself like the fire sticks/cubes, Google
|devices, Onn, etc. and they all had weird issues like buffering,
|stuttering, certain formats not playing, etc. Landed back on the
|shield and everything works.
|u/ruthasacre - 1 day
|
|My shield used to play these files smoothly but not for many
|months anymore. Every large file eventually glitches or drops
|sound for a few seconds. I have a feeling it happened in the last
|Android Update. Are you on Android 11 on the Shield too?
|u/TVshop004 - 1 day

|I used to have stutters before too on my 2019 pro. I had to
|downgrade to os 8.2.3. I also "match the frame rate before
|stop/start" in kodi-settings. Now i dont have any stutters at
|all. Or any other bugs that came with the latest os for me. You
|could try the match framerate first, if that setting is enough
|u/ruthasacre - 1 day
|
|Thanks, I checked and if you mean the setting in Player >
|Videos > Adjust display refresh rate, I have that set to "On
|Start/stop. Is there another setting for matching frame rate
|somewhere? I don't have a PC available here so that's my main
|obstacle to downgrading the Shield. Apparently it's necessary.
|Never had luck with Virtual boxes in the past for that kind of
|thing.

|RECOMMENDED SHIELD AUDIO SETTINGS • Dolby processing: OFF
|• Match content resolution: ON (only in FW 9.x) • Audio
|video sync: 0 ms • Play comfort noise on HDMI: OFF
|RECOMMENDED KODI SETTINGS • Adjust display refresh rate: On
|start/stop • Sync playback to display: OFF • Delay after
|change of refresh rate: Usually anywhere from 2 sec to 4 sec
|(Find what works best for your TV) • Whitelist: All
|resolutions that your TV supports • Keep audio device
|alive: 1 Minute • Allow Passthrough: ON • Passthrough
|output device: AudioTrack IEC • *** Capable Receiver: Turn
|ON the audio formats that your AVR/SoundBar is capable of
|playing (check your specs)

|Thanks for these! I have almost all those settings
|configured properly, I just checked the others and tweaked
|a couple. The main thing is I really want to downgrade for
|better performance in general. I just don't have the
|necessary PC to do it, just a shitty old macbook pro.
|u/TVshop004 - 1 day
|
|Aha, dont know how poor you are. But i bought a refurbed
|"HP EliteDesk 800 G3 DM" for like $100, for cases like
|these when i need a pc
|u/ruthasacre - 1 day
|
|Good idea, I will look into that if need be. Can I ask
|if your stuttering before the downgrade was only on
|Kodi? Or was it an issue on other apps? My other apps
|do not seem affected.
|u/Funny_Chocolate_1012 - 1 day

|I downgrade regularly to 8.2.3 on my not so shitty m1
|macbook pro, just bought my 8th Shield pro according to
|amazon lol, you need the male to male usb cable and an
|nvidia game remote or a wired keyboard though.

|My 2015 shield can still play the largest remux I throw at it.
|It's you.
|u/gapgod2001 - 1 day
|
|i have the same firestick, these settings should not be giving you
|buffer issues. i can play any size remux with lossless audio without
|buffering. Check your network speed. i use 5ghz wifi which gives me
|400mbps. Also try restarting your firestick.

|Where is the ripped file stored?
|u/SatisfactionRare429 - 1 day
|
|It’s ripped from a server that is on RD
|u/byngo69 - 1 day
|
|3 things: 1) you didn't answer the "where is the file" question. Do
|you have it on local storage ( your own media server, HDD, pen
|drive, SD card etc) or are you streaming it over the internet via
|RD? 2) with modern compression codecs like Hevc, you wont tell the
|difference between a hevc 25gb file and a h264 90gb file so pick
|something smaller. 3). Might be wrong here but despite you buying a
|gigabit dongle, I think the ethernet controller capability of the
|f/stick is 100mb. What connection speed does it say your getting in
|the advanced internet connection menu? You might find WiFi faster
|depending on what your speeds are from the router.

|1. I’m using Kodi with fen light and rd 2. Because I have a top
|of the line tv and surround sound I only want the high quality
|remux to get the best picture and sound quality and a lot of the
|remux movies are high gb 3. If you go with the original firesick
|dongle by Amazon you are limited to 100mbps but picking up an otg
|cable and a dongle with gigabit Ethernet port gives you a higher
|speed I max out at 450mbps on a good day and average between
|350mbps & 450mbps
|u/byngo69 - 17 hours

|Fair play with the stream choice and correcting me on the dongle
|ethernet route, I have a man cave with 4K projector, 110"
|screen, Nvidia Shield pro and sound system. I too appreciate
|good quality and I can tell the difference when I play a
|physical UHD Blu-ray. For quality, this is the way, but we can
|all appreciate the convenience of streaming methods, made all so
|possible by high speed broadband rollout. With streams I'm
|looking for 4k HDR, Dolby Atmos and a hevc 18 to 40gb stream, it
|honestly looks fantastic and the massive ones ( like 70 - 100gb
|can cause me issues) so I no longer fuss about it. My internet
|is supposedly 900mb (synchronous) fttp but I typically get
|around 450mb at capable devices

|Hello friend. 4gb ram. 512mb cache. Adaptive read. Gigabit ethernet for
|me. Does the job well.

|In my testing, I've had better luck with memory set to 256MB using both
|a 2017 Shield and a 4K Max. I also use Open Wizard to set
|advancedettings.xml settings to high-end device. https://preview.redd.i

|e49563a1ddc68dcea297d4 These default high-end device settings seem to
|work well for me, but if anyone recommends something better, I'm always
|up to try for improvements. A good file I've found for testing is
|Mulholland Drive(96.3GB, BDREMUX, RD, FenLight), if it don't glitch in
|opening dance sequence you're good to go.

|I had open wizard setup before, then I had to reset my firestick since
|I had installed too many apps and I lost my config, open wizard fixed
|all my problems but now since Kodi 21 is out the steps for open wizard
|are removed
|u/mrpickem1 - 21 hours
|
|With 21 there is no advancedsettings.xml file by default. You have
|to create it, otherwise it still works the same.
|u/SatisfactionRare429 - 21 hours
|
|I’ll definitely look into it
