online-content
<online-content fetch-buffer-size="262144" fetch-buffer-fill-size="0">
Optional
This tag defines the online content section.
Attributes:
fetch-buffer-size=...
Optional
Default: 262144
Often, online content can be directly accessed by the player - we will just give it the URL. However, sometimes it may be necessary to proxy the content through Gerbera. This setting defines the buffer size in bytes, that will be used when fetching content from the web. The value must not be less than allowed by the curl library (usually 16384 bytes).
fetch-buffer-fill-size=...
Optional
Default: 0 (disabled)
This setting allows to prebuffer a certain amount of data, given in bytes, before sending it to the player, this should ensure a constant data flow in case of slow connections. Usually this setting is not needed, because most players will anyway have some kind of buffering, however if the connection is particularly slow you may want to try enable this setting.

refresh="[seconds]" update-at-start="[yes,no]" resolution="[640,720]"/>
