Hi,

Does anyone out there know how to force the browser to retain previously viewed FLV files? I’ve noticed using the normal netstream set-up that even if you’ve fully loaded and viewed a video it will have to load it again from scratch each time. Shouldn’t the file be in the user’s cache?

Any help is appreciated, this is driving me nuts.

Thanks in advance!!
