Looks like things are much worse than I thought. This seems to be an issue with iOS 8, not iPeng... http://blog.airsource.co.uk/2014/10/11/nsurlcache-ios8-broken/ The problem is that iOS 8.0.x caches the loaded artwork. To do this, iOS ignores the cache settings an App sets on a load request, this has been an issue for a long time (iPeng doesn't request caching since it caches the artwok itself). However, it looks like now in iOS 8 the OS does not only cache, it also never clears the cache. On iPhone 6 Plus it even UPSCALES the images before caching them (for no reason) and then caches the upscaled, uncompressed images. This is really, really bad. That said.... I believe other than what's been said in the article it _does_ some cache cleaning whenever the device runs out of space but still.... not good. iOS 8.1 beta seem to fix it, let's hope it comes out soon. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
