So, in other words, if you use the proxy server to stream video content,
then don't bother with trying to cache any of the files at all?
Is there a way we can identify streamed video and ignore it, yet cache
everything else?
I'm guessing ignore mp3, mpeg, avi, flv. SOme streamed content might use
their own preference so it's difficult to catch everything?

Hi,
I have seen a few posts about caching and poor performance of video
recently. I am also experiencing problems, but I am not sure the
cause. I am using Squid exclusively for myself to access a live
television streaming service in my home country. It works find for
maybe 30 seconds, but then Windows Media Player starts re-buffering
constantly. Could caching have something to do with this? And what is
Squid actually trying to cache? The broadcast takes about 4 hours
adding up to a few GBs. Is Squid trying to cache this in a single
file?
Depends on the transmission server. But yes it probably is.
