Greetings.
Firstly, thank you for all of your work. With this plugin an unskilled first time developer like myself can get needed plugins out there, so thanks for your framework.
I have a question about thumbnail caching. I am using an API from our website to pull an image for live streams that either A: Pulls an "OFFLINE" image, or B: the icon/photo for the person streaming on that particular channel. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get around Kodi's caching to make the thumbnails refresh quickly enough in Kodi to be of any use to tell if the streams are online.
I have tried to add cache_to_disc=False, update_listing=True to the plugin.finish when listing the streams, but it doesn't appear to work for this, and the icons remain the same hours after a show has ended.
My google-fu has not been effective in this endeavor as well. Again, thank you for your time.
PS: Additional bonus question. I probably missed it somewhere along the way, but is there a function to pop up a static image or view a static image in xbmcswift2? I tried notify but it only pops up in the bottom right corner as a very small message.
