For sites that have a basic menu page, HTTP image caching can work just fine. Real cites logos and interactive buttons as prime opportunities within the SMIL file. HTTP served broadcast type sites would find image caching ideal. It is that easy. The RealPlayer cache size defaults to 4mb.
Users can adjust the setting in their preferences.
The cache defaults to expire within four hours. If the cache runs out of room, the RealPlayer will begin to delete the oldest items. You can adjust the cache expiration period and this is covered thoroughly in the RealPlayer 7 authoring notes . XML101 Top of Page Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated All Rights Reserved.
