Only HD causes buffering every few minutes.

[Sleiman Zubidi]

The previous version had an option to choose SD/HD in the settings, but is not there anymore. Is very annoying to watch anything if it pauses for buffering every 2 minutes. The add-on is useless for me since version 1.5, please put the SD option back.

I second that. At least the version 1.5 there were control on the resolution, thus indirectly over the buffer bevahiour.

Hi Vitor! Excellent work on globo.com addon, but me too I would like to restore SD quality option for videos, because on my DSL I'm getting too many stops when watching videos. It's not smooth as previous version.

Just to be sure, what is this setting into the xml? Can be changed to be SD?

Thank you for your hard job! Obrigado Max

That's an issue from Kodi. You can check http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=129912

It's possible to make a workaround inside the addon. I'll make a PR to add a max bandwidth to the configuration, that way it'll choose the best bitrate available inside the limit. The kodi already use a bitrate config, the config is network.bandwidth but I don't know where to set it. Maybe inside the advancedsettings.xml.

Added a configuration option to limit bandwidth usage.
