Cache
Local storage where the player keeps content and the latest data so it can play quickly and independently of the connection.
A cache keeps frequently used data close by so it does not have to be downloaded again and again. In digital signage that place is usually the player's own storage. A video is downloaded once and then played from the device on every loop.
A cache brings three benefits: content starts without stuttering, network traffic and data usage go down, and playback continues when the connection drops. On the other hand, device storage is limited, and large video libraries can fill small boxes.
Caching in MIA
The MIA Player Android app keeps videos, images and a copy of the player page on the device. The Samsung Tizen package saves media in the display's memory. The server fetches widget data such as weather, currency rates and RSS, and if the internet drops the screens show the last good value. If you need to empty a device's storage, you use the "Depoyu temizle" (clear storage) command in the control centre. For Android devices, see the Android TV and boxes page.
