I was / am an avid user of SPMC and have since moved to MrMC on my Shield. However, I believe offering the option to increase Buffer Size in MrMC beyond 200 MB to something like 800 MB (which still leaves a good amount of the Shield's 3 GB of RAM free) would be extremely beneficial for watching high bitrate videos (4K remuxes for instance) in MrMC. I have modified my advancedsettings in SPMC to a buffer size of 800 MB and read rate of 20 and I have much better luck watching high bitrate videos than on MrMC with the max buffer size of 200 MB and a read rate of 20, both over gigabit ethernet SMB (using Shield's native SMB client).

Is there a technical reason we are limited to a 200 MB buffer size in MrMC?

Shield device has 3GB of ram that is parceled to running system and apps. An App cannot consume all 3GB's of device ram. I'll take a look to see what we can do.
