I'm writing my first program plug-in and have hit a problem with the fact that the images I pass to xbmc thru a list item with addDirectoryItem are being cached
The images are of the form "http://192.168.1.2:8080/xbmc.bmp?floor=1&room=8"
It gets the images ok but it then caches them. The problem with this is that the images are dynamically generated and always different, so I don't want it to cache them
Is there anyway to prevent this caching please?
My only thought is to put a random parameter in the url, but this would mean it caching every version of the image even though they would never be used again (assuming that would even work)
Thanks
Tony
