Is it possible to change the video cache size dynamically with a Python script?

[akaigotchi]

Hi @ll,

I am still working on my script that receives streaming data from a rss. Actually the streaming files are in .mov format. Now that everything works I still have a minor feature I would like to implement:

During playback the video stutters after a while, caches data and then plays back fluently. I already changed the video cache settings manually in xbmc settings and now with a decent cache size the video plays back fluently. Conclusion: I would like to change the video cache size with the help of my script so that it sets the video cache size to a decent size during playback and back again to the original setting on shutdown.

Is there a possibility to do this?

Thanks for your help!

pike, came up with the idea for apple movie trailers to save a .conf file with the video.

Not sure where you would save it for streaming media, but look into that.

Thank you for your help :-)
