SG Poster and base64 images

Can the SG Poster component support base64 images?
We have quite a few images that I'd rather serve via a json feed with base64 images rather than call out to uri's.

Re: SG Poster and base64 images

I don't think there is any support for that, but the feature request has come up before:

Re: SG Poster and base64 images

Came up with a solution to deliver base64 strings via json file then to create the images on the filesystem (tmp:/) using byte arrays fromBase64String method.  Works like a charm!
