How to delete image cache?

Archived

It looks like roku caches image. When I uploaded a new one to the server, it won’t get re-fetched so older version is displayed instead.

How long will roku box keep cached version of image and how do I force it to delete the cache (or refetch)? Simple existing the app and re-entering it does not do the trick.

add a random number generator to your image urls to “bust” the cache.

url=“http://myserver.com/myimage.jpg”+“?rnd=”+rnd(10000).tostr()

Other options - run an installed channel that loads a whole lot of images to fill the internal cache, or rebooting the roku will clear any cached info.

Thanks, also I found out it will reload the image after I power off and power on my roku box.
