Option to NOT cache .bif files

[TMCsw 254]

It seems quite absurd to me that .bif files are cached when using this library option:

.bif files are accessed only when the video is playing, not during browsing. This doesn’t enhance browsing speed!

I see no reason to cash these .bif’s; it’s a huge waste of space on the fast SSD (MVNE?).

Slow or sleeping HDDs must be spinning while the video is playing, so even a slow HDD can serve the video and .bif files just fine.

Please add an option to exclude caching for .bif files, as this causes the metadata folder to become very large.

Thanks

HI, yes more control over this is certainly possible. Thanks.

They are also used on detail screens for the chapters display.
