GUIDE: Fix issue with playback crashing on Raspberry pi 4 - 34626 - 2025-08-24
We use Raspberry Pi 4 as media player with LibreELEC + JellyCon to play media files, it has worked great, untill recently.
Suddenly, playing media over 576p has made watching movies very annoying, because the playback keeps creashing.
So here i share the fix:
1. First, we must create a file on the STORAGE partition:
sudo nano .kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
2. Now we must add some text, but in memorysize, it depends on the amount of RAM on yourRaspberry pi.
2 GB RAM = 134217728
4 GB RAM = 268435456
8 GB RAM = 536870912
Add the following:
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<curlclienttimeout>30</curlclienttimeout> <!-- standard 20 -->
<curllowspeedtime>60</curllowspeedtime> <!-- vent længere før timeout -->
</network>
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>134217728</memorysize>
<readfactor>20</readfactor>
</cache>
</advancedsettings>
3. Save, exit, plug the Raspberry pi back to your TV and enjoy!
