Caching does not begin from the current frame when refreshing cache. about tlrender HOT 6 CLOSED

Is "refresh" something you added to your branch?

from tlrender.

No. I just added that to force the IOOptions to be different. I assumed you might have been doing a compare of, as usual:

Player::setIOOptions(const io::Options& value)
{
if (p.ioOptions == value)
return;
...etc...
}

If it is not needed, let me know.

And yes, I am seeing that in current branch, when I call the refresh_cache_cb() in my code.

I added the "refresh" = randomString() as I was getting the IOOptions from the player. So, that for example, the OpenEXR "Layer" option is not changed. I saw that you were doing:

player->setIOOptions({});

But that would reset the OpenEXR layer selection.

I checked in a change so the player now requests the current video frame first when caching, this should hopefully make skipping frames more interactive. I would also recommend not setting the cache read behind too high, it's just meant to keep a few frames for stepping back and forth.

Instead of setting the I/O options you can also use timeline::Player::clearCache() to clear the cache.

Thanks. I think the main culprit was the ReadBehind. Once I left it at 0.4secs without trying to increase it due to the memory setting, the workflow became interactive.
