Talk about being late to the party...
I just stumbled upon this little tidbit in the wiki whilst searching for some answers:
FROM:
<network>
<useddsfanart> - removed in v17 Krypton.
<cachemembuffersize> and <readbufferfactor> - In v17 <cachemembuffersize> is renamed to <memorysize> and <readbufferfactor> is renamed to <readfactor>. In addition, all three buffer related settings in <network> are moved out of <network> and into a new <cache> parent tag.
<minvideocachelevel>, <minaudiocachelevel>, and <cacheindvdplayer> have been removed in v17.
<useffmpegvda> - Tag was only used for development testing. Removed in v17.
</network>
TO:
<cache>
<memorysize>0</memorysize> <!-- number of bytes used for buffering streams in memory
When set to 0 the cache will be written to disk instead of RAM -->
<buffermode>0</buffermode> <!-- Choose what to buffer:
0) Buffer all internet filesystems (like "2" but additionally also ftp, webdav, etc.) (default)
1) Buffer all filesystems (including local)
2) Only buffer true internet filesystems (streams) (http, etc.)
3) No buffer -->
<readfactor>4.0</readfactor> <!-- this factor determines the max readrate in terms of readfactor * avg bitrate of a video file.
This can help on bad connections to keep the cache filled. It will also greatly speed up buffering. Default value 4.0. -->
</cache>
So anyone who created an advancedsettings.xml in earlier versions and has updated to Krypton, make sure to change your file.
