| Question= Memory usage (especially with 256M Pi) | |||
| Answer= | |||
* gpu_mem should be set to 128M minimum on Gotham. On a 512M Pi it may be worth increasing this if you are running heavy skins, using dvdplayer for HD videos or if you want to increase the default fanart resolution or colour depth. 256M should be more than enough. | |||
* A 256M Pi is quite short on memory. Be careful with running other apps in the background (e.g. torrents) or installing add-ons that consume memory. | |||
* The default cachemembuffersize is too high for a 256M Pi. Reduce it in advancedsettings to 2097152 (or use 0 to cache to sdcard). | |||
* Reducing the "GUI resolution limit" (e.g. to 720p) in settings/system/video will save memory. Video will still play at full resolution (e.g. 1080p). | |||
* Enabling "higher colour depth artwork" will use more memory. It should be disabled on 256M Pi. | |||
* Reducing imageres/fanartres will reduce memory usage. | |||
