Old videos keep appearing - Caching bug #77

Closed MegaScience closed 10 years ago

MegaScience commented 10 years ago

When I load the website, I always get the same line and a half of videos from a month or two ago. I assume these were cached at the time, and now the site keeps trying to load them up. This has been occurring just about as long as the videos have been up, too. Essentially, the site is holding onto a cache of videos which should be released.

Using Ctrl+F5/Shift+Refreshing will reload the page without these videos appearing, but when I first enter the site after opening my browser, these videos persist.

I finally took count, and it looks like more and more videos got trapped in the cache... Because I count 50 videos from over a month ago on the page. For Firefox, where is the cache held (or how can I find it). I'd like to manually tear out the cache and let this refresh. I think this is also slowing the site down for me... can't tell...

I'd like to amend I think this problem also causes a large amount of browser lag as well. I had noticed since I reported this that the site would lag pretty badly for me when loading, but attributed it to my settings. Around two weeks back, I had a harddrive installed by a hardware business (because I stopped trusting myself with computer hardware), and among the changes they cleared a ton of files, including whatever portion of Firefox's cache held the trapped videos. I restored my browsing history and my Add-Ons remained the same, and the site was loading nicely.

However, since then videos have been accumulating in the trapped cache again, and I've noticed the site starting to progressively getting laggier to load since then.

Essentially, the cached videos make the site load exponentially worse per stuck video. I think it might be priority to either solve this serverside or provide a clientside method to specifically eliminate the cache for the site.

I have this issue also. Trying to click the check button will only make a duplicate appear and clicking it agin will make that duplicate appear. Clear cache+reload (CTRL-F5 in Firefox) will fix the problem.... until there's a new video. Rince and repeat.

It is a catching issue of some sort.

Pretty sure this is fixed now, do let me know if it's still an issue and I will reopen this.
