I'm using Simple File Networking and HTML 5 (external url) to display a basic static menu that will change infrequently and be generated by some external software. My concern is that the URL being used for the HTML is being served by a local PC that may or may not be on. On reboot the player will request the remote file and if the webserver doesn't respond, nothing will be displayed.
Is there some way to store and retain the data downloaded so it will survive a reboot? I saw an article suggesting cache manifest but this is depreciated if it will even work in my situation.
Also, is there also some way of triggering the HTML 5 content to re-download other than the Time on screen refresh? Perhaps in the current-sync.json?
I'm also open to a better way of doing this.
Thanks.
