I have no idea how XBMC plays the files. It might always save them to disk before, or use something like VLC or MPC-HC as player. These two have their own source filter implementation, so they CAN change the buffer.
This plugin is not responsible for playback, it only provides access to the urls and then builds the directshow graph with system filters, to play that url. This mean the cache would be a value of the filters used as source filter.
And so the question remains, how do I know exactly which codec was chosen for a given file? is it written in a log somewhere?
I was trying to watch a clip on YouTube, it was completely unwatchable, very choppy. Then I loaded the browser and watched the exact same clip - ran smoothly. So this is definitely a codec issue, we just need to figure out which one...
I found out that the File Source (URL) Filter that is used on all http sources as source filter for the graph supports another interface that can be used to ask how much of the file to be played is already downloaded in memory. I implemented a way to use this information to delay the start of playback in MediaPortal until a percentage (configurable, default 2% now) is downloaded. This will be in the next version (0.20).
thanks but it is a local routing issue with external (IPv6-)content (like Google). I disabled IPv6 for the moment and wait for some feedback from hosting company.

I have looked at your log files, but as usual they are unintelligible gobbledegook. (I am sure that the original developers who wrote that code know what the log entries mean, but those developers have long since retired from the MP team.)

Thanks for your reply.
In my configuration this setting is set to "no".
To avoid misunderstandings, the MP window size changes on screen resolution changes, MP always fulfills the whole screen.
Also, the home screen buttons size is adjusted.
Only the font size is not adjusted to the new screen resolution.
