Caching

Caching is currently only supported on iOS platforms with a CocoaPods setup.

Technology

The cache is backed by SPTPersistentCache and DVAssetLoaderDelegate.

How Does It Work

The caching is based on the url of the asset. SPTPersistentCache is a LRU (last recently used) cache.

Restrictions

Currenly the uri of the resource that should be cached needs to have the appropriate file extension (one of mp4, m4v or mov). In order to be cached. In future versions (once dependencies allow access to the content-type header) this will no longer be necessary. You will also receive warnings in the xcode logs by using the debug mode. So if you are not 100% sure if your video is cached, check your xcode logs!

By default files expire after 30 days and the maxmimum cache size is 100mb.

In a future release the cache might have more configurable options.
