Network caching settings in Kodi

~/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <cachemembuffersize>31457280</cachemembuffersize>
    Default: 20971520, which is 20MB, which requires 60MB of free RAM
    0 - Use the local disk memory instead of RAM
    xxx - The number is the buffer size in bytes. Kodi will not buffer ahead more than this.
    For the memory size set here, Kodi will require 3x the amount of RAM to be free.

    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    Default: 0
    0 = Buffer all internet filesystems (like "2" but additionally also ftp, webdav, etc.)
    1 = Buffer all filesystems, both internet and local
    2 = Only buffer true internet filesystems (streams) (http, etc.)
    3 = No buffer 

    <readbufferfactor>20</readbufferfactor>
    Default: 1
    Kodi will only fill the cache a little above what is needed to play it back.
    The value of this setting is a multiplier of the default limit.
    If Kodi is loading a typical bluray raw file at 36 Mbit/s, then a value of 2 will need at
    least 72 Mbit/s of network bandwidth. However, unlike with the RAM setting, you can safely
    increase this value however high you want, and Kodi won't crash. Just know that it might
    cause Kodi to attempt to use all available bandwidth on your HTPC during playback.
