Im perfectly confused now. No buffer or 4th option all fs and local files? On no buffer you cannot set buffer amount so that confused me
Had the same issue
Look in the guide:
Set cache to 64mb (i set to 256mb)
NFS & SMB Chunk Size to 1mb
Read factor set to Adaptive
That solved the problem, no more interruptions even on heavy Remuxes
If you use No Buffer, Kodi will still use its internal buffer which @Portisch has done some rework on:

What confused?
Use first option, no buffer.
Thats all.

Many thanks for this, been looking forward to this functionality! This does seem to work in that it toggles vs10 on/off, but when run during playback, it restarts the video from the beginning instead of continuing. Also, if it was on and is toggled off during playback, PlayerProcessInfo still indicates that the VS10 engine is active. Am I doing something wrong?
Try this version
Copy over Samba to Userdata/keymaps/toggle_vs10.py, the change is effective immediately:
v1.2 toggle_vs10.py (3.9 KB)
Go to Settings > System > CoreELEC
Press the remote button to check what settings you are toggling off and on. The “Dolby Vision VS10 Engine” notification is only tied to the status of SDR8. Make sure that when SDR8 is off, the other options are off too (SDR10, HDR10, HDR10+, etc)
Wonderful! Works perfectly on arctic zephyr now. On PM4K it still restarts the video though.
Let’s just get one thing straight and I hope this is the first and last time I have to post about it. Team CE doesn’t accept donations, likewise we don’t want people profiting from the work of many. It’s ironic that @cpm refused to work with Team CE (it’s his right) but now wants to profit from CE’s work. Any mention of this in this forum will be deleted and if this is where this community project is headed, or any other community project based on CoreELEC, all posts/topics will be deleted and users suspended.

Does it work some of the time in PM4K or not at all? This is the same script with some debug logging added toggle_vs10.py (4.9 KB)
Play a video, toggle the vs10 engine settings, then share the log - SSH:
cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | paste
I really doubt that it’s @cpm’s doing…

Yes, that’s a possibility and I’ll correct the message if that’s the case. The user that posted it, however, is not new in here.
Edit: @Sholander yes, it was him. You can check in his repo.
And for all that took this the wrong way, we were always very open and clear about cpm’s work. In general we just wanted that the rules for contribution for the project followed what every other open source project does. PR to master and backport.
We hit a brick wall with cpm, he always said he didn’t have the time (perfectly legitimate reason, we have many Devs with the same problem and kind in a self-suspended mode). We continue open to embrace all his work and it can be done in the future.
It just saddens me that this ends in a kind of a victim/bad guys mood when it’s just a question of people doing only what’s fun for them without the worry of maintaining a small project (again, a legitimate choice).

I must have missed something. Do you mean @cpm has been asking for donations somewhere?

No and I don’t want to expand more on this. To accept is different from asking.
So what are the rules? Can a user accept donations if they don’t ask on the forum?
I know that differences exist between the Coreelec team and CPM, but I don’t want to drive CPM away either. CPM is clearly a skilled developer who has greatly benefited many users. CPM has already deleted his estuary skin repo and all the releases.
Most of all this situation makes me sad. I understand philosophical differences, but is it necessary to drive users away?
The earlier post could have been deleted and the matter dealt through a PM. It didn’t need to become a public scandal.

If there wasn’t that much discussion, CPM wouldn’t have removed his builds. Stop, don’t continue.

I guess it’s already too late for that.
Very sad to see @cpm go because of one small mistake and I hope he will reconsider. I’m not blaming the CE Team here. I think they have the right to ask developers who make use of their work to stick to their “rules”. Although @Astrotrain is right and this probably should not have been dealt with in public.

I have made backups on github of the remaining repositories which cannot be deleted as it is not a fork.
If the code should deleted or private from @cpm, it is still there with the entire commit history on my github

The A5 Release and Discussions can be found there too.

It most looks like the CE team is the bad one. But in short this is not true. It was written multiple times that we are out of man power and invited him multiple times to handle this by himself on CE repo directly. But he always declined. So what should we do about it?
We also stated clear when one day we have enough free time it might be possible we implement his changes. But currently there is no time slot for it. It’s not we did not open our doors, he just did never pass through them.
CE team do clear communicate we take no donations at all in any way. We do all for free in our free time. All costs we have are covered by ads.
So if someone jump in and take CE open source stuff and get donations for it, it’s ok for us. We can’t prohibit it in any way anyway. BUT we can say don’t do it on CE forum. This just doesn’t match with CE team philosophy and because of this we will remove any hint or link to such items.
