programmatically trigger "precaching"

Hi there.
I am running rasplex on my RPi B, with Pogoplug as Server. The Pogoplug is admittedly not very responsive (but has fortunately a very low power consumption, was cheap and thus serves my purposes). To counter the low Pogo performance I have several scripts on it…like partial library scan solutions (which don’t work out-of-the-box) to reduce scanning times. Now I suppose, having always a complete and up-to-date cache seems to be a very good thing.

Now to my question(s):
Is there a way to programmatically trigger the precaching function? And if yes, can this only be triggered for all media, or also for some libraries or even for a single file?
I can live with doing it once a day, during night or so. So a complete caching is OK for :slight_smile:

cheers,
Matthias

There is no need to run pre-cache after first installation, except when you have added a considerable amount (100’s) of new media.

If you add content to your PMS sporadically then Rasplex will get the images it needs for new media every time you access any library and will write the images to the cache.
