[chromium-html5] Video cache on HTML5 and Chrome

[Fernando Carvalho]

Is there any way to cache videos on Chrome web browser?
Since the network traffic increase every day, a video cache, should
help to minimize this issue.
I think that a cache should be implemented on the browser, so users
that have bandwidth issues can what videos cached on the browser.
This would be a great feature, if it is possible.

I'm trying Youtube HTML5 and I've realized that it don't cache the
videos, so it is a bandwidth waste, since the data has been already
downloaded.

There is a video (media) cache storage. Maybe it is not implemented very well, but it exists (though not with Incognito mode).

Search crbug.com for an existing issue, if you cannot find one, file a new issue at new.crbug.com, with exact reproduction steps and full configuration information.

Thank you.

Hi Fernando, doesn't HTML5 applicationCache work for you? In your manifest, you define what you want cached.

I think Fernando's point is, why aren't video and audio files cached
by default in the browser as it currently happens with images, flv or
swf files?

Video and audio clips are cached... there's a special purpose media cache for those media files.

I think an issue may be that this special purpose cache is only used by the <audio> and <video> player. If a developer attempts to pre-cache a media resource, for example by retrieving it via xhr, the copy in the std cache (if any) will not be used by the <audio> or <video> player.

Michael,

Is there any way to see the content of that media cache the same way I see the "normal" cache with about:cache?

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

Incidentally, I've also noticed that a shift-reload doesn't reload the
media resources on a Web page, but instead just pulls them out of the
cache. I think cached audio and video should also be aligned with how
cached images are discarded and re-downloaded on a shift-reload.

Cheers,
Silvia.

Can you open a bug about this at http://new.crbug.com ? Please post a link to the bug once you're done.
