Hello,
Does anyone know about the settings in Player/advanced?
Was unable to find any information about this.

What is your questions?If you have no issues with playback, then just keep default settings as is.
Cache settings changed from User feedback, mostly from AM6B plus users over last year and a half

Ok let me rephrase:
- What is the difference between buffering local files or not? By default, it is not enabled.
What are the pros and cons, set apart the fact that playback works flawlessly with or without it (in my case at least). In other terms, what does it do and what it the purpose of this setting? - What are both settings in Player/advanced for? There is no information/documentation anywhere about this. I don’t really care if it works with default settings (8 seconds and 40MB), I just wanna understand what it does.
Is it tied to the buffer settings? Why 40MB here and 64MB there? What would increasing or decreasing the queue time/queue size do in terms of playback etc ?
Hope it is clearer.

These are default settings Kodi Uses ,some good reading there.
Most users don’t touch anything, because it is working, the only difference in the settings you posted in my setup I always max out the (chunk size) to 1mb in nfs/smb/cache.
This works best for my setup!!!
Also you can test yourself/playback a video over SMB ,change some settings to see if stutters/breaks
