Caching is currently only supported on iOS
platforms with a CocoaPods setup.
The cache is backed by SPTPersistentCache and DVAssetLoaderDelegate.
The caching is based on the url of the asset. SPTPersistentCache is a LRU (Least Recently Used) cache.
Currently, caching is only supported for URLs that end in a .mp4
, .m4v
, or .mov
extension. In future versions, URLs that end in a query string (e.g. test.mp4?resolution=480p) will be support once dependencies allow access to the Content-Type
header. At this time, HLS playlists (.m3u8) and videos that sideload text tracks are not supported and will bypass the cache.
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.
