SlingerPlayer Android caches remote webpage [solved]

[bradut]

I have noticed that the Android version of SlingerPlayer caches the remote control webpage, and the only way I was able to get it display a different version of that page was to reinstall the app.

That was OK with me and probably with 99.999% of the users.

Now, I have developed a RC webpage that connects to different WebAPIs

• to get updated TV programs info,
• to send channel change commands to the Slingbox Server,
• to get the streaming status of a Slingbox via SignalR in order to display its selected channel.

This RC webpage works fine when launched from the Windows version of SlingerPlayer or directly in a browser

Unfortunately, in SlingerPlayer for Android it often cannot connect to the servers.

I believe these issues may be a consequence of cache-ing but not sure

So, I am wondering: is it possible to disable cache?

Update:
To effectively clean the cache, it is required to clear the SlingerPlayer app's cache on the phone/tablet.
I used to clear all the data, which deleted the URLs, but recently, I noticed that cleaning the cache was sufficient.
