Channel Plugin - What is AutoRefreshLevels

[pünktchen 1409]

@@Luke i'm creating a plugin that should act like a calendar for tv show premiers in germany.

What's the purpose of AutoRefreshLevels and it's numbers and when should i implement IHasCacheKey?

[Luke 42077]

It's no longer used.

[pünktchen 1409]

And what about IHasCacheKey?

[Luke 42077]

You would implement that if the standard 3 hour cache in the server is not ideal. I would check out the tunein plugin as an example:

Maybe i'm blind, but i can't find any code where the cache timespan is defined in the tunein channel.

Yeah, i've seen this. But it is just a string that is combined from user name and geographical location. How does this affect the timespan of the cache?

[Luke 42077]

It's not time based. It's more like an etag.

[pünktchen 1409]

Okay, so without the string there's no caching, with it's three hours and if i want more then i have to create a custom method. Correct?

[Luke 42077]

Yup
