Request and Download but not playing from cache.

by Anonymous on 3 Aug 2009
Hi All. I have been playing with this software for an afternoon now and was wondering what im doing wrong. From my logs i can see that squid is requesting a page, caching it and on next play from the client, playing the file from cache. However when i disconnect the internet connection or limit my bandwidth to something very low using "tc" (to pretend its on a bad connection) the youtube stream appears to still load from the internet, slowly. Running Fedora 11 (tried Centos 5.3 as ...

Python processes consuming all my CPU time

by StevenHarrison on 22 Jul 2009
VideoCache is a great product, and it was easy to get working on our PFSense 1.2.3 box.

I notice two other users in the forum experiencing the same issue but no-one bothered to respond to ...
