Problem downloading and caching the videos

hi videocache !

im using mikrotik and videocache it works perfect, but its just one problem

I have to watch the video twice for it to be downloaded and cached, the first time i have "Requested video was not found in cache." in my log file, and when i rewatch the same video then it tells me "Video scheduled for download." at my var/log/videocache/videocache.log file
and when i watch it aonce again then it tells me "The video was served from cache."

Thank you very much for making the project,

Anonymous,

Check the hit_threshold option in /etc/videocache.conf file and change it to one if it is two by any chance. Then it'll start caching when you watch the video first time.

Thank You!

thanks a lot admin...
i changed hit_threshold = 1

ill post a scenario for Mikrotik + VideoCache as im using it now

have nice time
