- <dt>Cache channel icons:
- <dd>
- Enable the caching of channel icons. This will cause TVH to download channel
- icons locally, and then when requested via HTSP clients the URL for the icon
- (or logo) will be retrieved from the TVH web server rather than fetched each
- time by the HTSP client.
- This REQUIRES the TVH server IP address field to also be populated
+ <p>
+ Icon caching - this will cache any channel icons or other images (such as
+ EPG metadata). These will then be served from the local webserver, this
+ can be useful for multi-client systems and generally to reduce hits on
+ upstream providers.

- <dt>TVH Server IP Address:
+ <dl>
+
+ <dt>Enabled
+ <dd>
+ Select whether or not to enable caching. Note: even with this disabled
+ you can still specify local (file://) icons and these will be served by

+ <dt>Re-fetch period (hours)
+ <dd>
+ How frequently the upstream provider is checked for changes.
