ailingcoot: that is correct. you would need an internet connection to use the plugin for any video list though. If the video is cached then it will play the content locally.

You can scan the cache directory into your xbmc music video library and then access them from there completely locally without internet.

I am committing an update now for better handling if you share the cache directory between plugins on the network.

I had the directory on my NAS mapped to a few xbmc installs. I started playing a 1080p video on one install and then selected the video in the plugin on the others and they all played from the cache properly. It would be cool if we could sync their playback. I think i remember someone doing this before. I need to look into it.


I mainly did the caching when I realized how big the 1080p videos can be. I like quality like everyone but streaming 1080p videos was killing my bandwidth. I like to do a playlist and just let it go.

It works much better with caching. the video starts instantly when cached. I can skip around the videos at will and lyric subtitles are available through the menu. It also reduces your bandwidth usage.
