This page describes three [[advancedsettings.xml]] settings that can be used to maximize the cache that XBMC uses. You can use all or just a couple of these settings to see significant improvements in cache performance, should you require it.


__TOC__
The cache tags in the advancedsettings.xml file have been deprecated.
==What is the video cache==
During playback from internet sources, XBMC will cache the video in RAM for a little bit. If the data rate of the video file is too slow for live playback, XBMC will pause until it can fill the cache enough so that it won't need to pause anymore. Sometimes XBMC doesn't have enough RAM and will give a "cache full" error message.


==Increasing the cache==
The cache settings are now adjusted in the '''[[Settings/Services/Caching|Settings ► Services ► Caching]]''' settings page.




==Enable cache for local videos==

==Increase the rate the cache fills up==
