Initial buffer for IPTV stream



Does anybody know what is the equivalent of deprecated advanced settings

Code:
<pvr>
      <minvideocachelevel>10</minvideocachelevel>
      <minaudiocachelevel>10</minaudiocachelevel>
</pvr>

that prevented initial playing problems on channel switch.
Before, with the above mentioned settings, playing begun half a second after the channel switch and there were no problems afterwards.
Now the playing starts immediately after channel switch and results in choppy audio until buffering is performed (sometimes even tens of seconds later) that breaks playing for around 2 seconds.

Or at least what is the latest version of Kodi where above settings are still valid? So far I see version 17 still accepts them.
