Refresh HTML or PHP

Hi,

I'm having some difficulties with my brightsign players. XT1143.

I have three states on my player, each containing a HTML site running on a LAMP server. (local)

It's working fine but I'm having some trouble with refresh of the websites.

 

When I don't change the index file, but I change the imagefiles in the IMG folder. Then the BS player will continu to play the old images in stead of the new. (Names are the same) So it seems the old images are in the cache!

Only with a restart of the player all new images wil be played.

    update;

    Another html site contains a video. With the video everything works fine, so video isn't cached. Only images are cached. Is it possible to disable the image caching function?

    Roel,

    I am not certain if you solved this issue or not.  Are you using any meta tags to control the device caching?  They would include the meta tags similar to the below sample.

    Cheers,
    Monica
