Thank you! I am looking forward to meet a new Roku OS 8 to use image caching 🙂
to curb your enthusiasm: i doubt cachefs:/ will make any difference from tmp:/ for you, assuming there is no "sacrificial" USB flash drive plugged. I don't think that is common, except for RokuTV owners that use Live TV Pause
Copy paste from here https://blog.roku.com/developer/2017/10/02/roku-os-8-developer-release-notes
- [BETA] New file system for data caching — A new file system, cachefs:[/url:3pygd6ez], has been introduced to allow applications to cache data to volatile or persistent storage. Users who extend the persistent storage available on their device by adding an external SD card will see the biggest benefit as application data will survive reboots and benefit from additional cache space to improve performance. Users without extended storage will also benefit from the use of a shared in-memory cache that is automatically managed by the system to optimize for the most recently used assets.
I thought that shared-in memory cache gives permissions to the roku storage to create files, that are retained when application exits. Am I incorrect? So how I can apply image caching to my app?
Is there a way to cache images, because every time we close app, we lose all data, we can't save anything in storage. After user opens app he always downloads same assets again.
It is a bad practise for me 😞 Please help and thank you for your time.
