Hello Friends,

I'm playing video(s) in my web site. The details of the videos are stored in a XML file and the information are displayed in the gridview. There is play button in each row and as i click on the play button a video of that row is played. But there is problem is IE its caching the videos and playing the same video even i click on other video button. Its working fine in Flock and Mozilla.....so suggest the way to come out of that problem

the best way would be to add current time to the path of the videos

say if path of video is

http://www.somewebsites .com/video.flv

change it to

http://www.somewebistes .com/video.flv?time=23844839

so on each refresh of the page the time will be different and will not be cached by the browser.

thanks

Please clarify your situation. Do you reuse filenames over time for different videos?

Here i'm again explaining my problem below.


I've a gridview in that gridview i've taken a commmand named "Play" for playing different-different songs and also songs name are unique. Its working fine in the browser "Flock" but caching those videos in Internet Explorer.
here i'm giving the link where i've uploaded it.

There was only one row there in the grid, if you put multiple rows we can understand better and be more helpful.

Now i've uploaded more than one videos. I think it'll be easier to understand what i want to explain

The filename displayed at the top is always one step behind - it shows the file from last click not the current click. That I believe is an issue with event sequence. But that doe snot explain why the video played is always the same one.

The problem goes away once I set IE to reload page on every visit - done through temperary internet file setting.

I suggest that you try to set cache control to no-cache in your http response, and see whether that solves the issue. Good luck!

By the way, I know why the ?time= trick didn't work - because that's not the url, not from IE's point of view.

I've set the code given below for stopping page being cached. But still getting same problem

Response.Buffer = true;
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1d);
Response.Expires = -1500;
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";
