Caching and bandwidth

All of your TrilbyTV content is in the cloud so it’s easily available to you and one of the many supported Player devices.

Streaming video and other media content can put a strain on your internet bandwidth, so we’ve built in automatic caching of content on all our players. 

TrilbyTV Player will start downloading a high-resolution version of your video content once you add it to a player, meaning it keeps bandwidth usage to a minimum. Slideshows are also downloaded as well as some social media images.

Once the download is complete, playback begins, and the player is no longer reliant on your internet connection. This also means that if your internet connection stops or has an issue, your TrilbyTV Players keep on playing.

The Player app will check in every 60 seconds for new additions to the playlist or category and download new content as required. The only exception is Web content which is always displayed live.

The cache may get automatically emptied by your device if it is running low on space. If this happens, videos will re-cache as necessary. You can also clear the cache of a device yourself if it seems to be showing old content. Just click Clear Cache in the Player Settings.
