Plexamp new network stack and caching ahead reliability

[Einkoro_1]

@elan should caching ahead be more reliable with the new stack? I have the caching for wifi and cellular set to 45 tracks currently but it rarely seems to actually cache that many tracks ahead when I run into dead zones for cellular along the highway.

I’m wondering how quickly I should expect it to cache those songs as leaving the house and hitting the highway I’m usually out of cellular within 10-15 minutes for the next hour and a half. Music tends to last for about 45 minutes to an hour tops before it abruptly stops without any more cached songs which usually isn’t even 15 tracks worth.

the new stack shouldn’t have any impact on that specifically.

Logs would show, but it depends what your network speed is, and what you’re downloading (e.g. FLAC vs Opus). Also assumes music is playing (the app is “alive”).
