HEVC Problem Buffering

Hi Guys,

I’m running Kodi 17. I have this in my advancedsettings.xml

Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <cache>
    <memorysize>1572864000</memorysize>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <readfactor>10.0</readfactor>
  </cache>
</advancedsettings>

Everything works great except when I try to run this test HEVC test file. I have the file saved locally on my network and I access it through a SMB Share.

When I try to play it, Kodi doesn’t pre-buffer…it tries to play it right away and the playback is unacceptable. However, if I press pause and let Kodi buffer the whole file, it play super great and looks amazing.

Is there a way to force Kodi to buffer 1 min of the file before playing on screen? Is there something else I’m missing?

Cheers
