change buffer size used before playback starts

Hi folks,

I’m using two Kodi-clients to watch my media, one the using an ethernet cennection and one connects via WLAN. The first one works without any buffering trouble. When using the second one I need to pause the video myself, so that Kodi can cache/preload the amount specified in advancedsettings.xml / cache-section. This works fine, but requires some manual action (pausing playback after starting the movie).

I’ve noticed a short buffering icon beforehand, but thats just changing between 0 and 100, no other values seem to appear here. It would just be perfect to set a (different) amount of cached memory here, so that this buffering-animation would be on a bit longer and actually buffering more data and therefor rising slowly from 0 to 100.

Is there any option to do this? The cache section only defines the amount of data read ahead, but not the size used before playback even starts. At least as far as I found it in documentation.

If required, I can provide a debug log later on.
