Caching large files when steaming Dlna

Post by swanlee »

Is media monkey supposed to be creating huge cache files when streaming audio from dlna? I see large temp files with the name of the songs taking up several gigs. I had to manually clean them. Can we get an option in the program itself to clean any cached files?

I posted this on the Win8 forums but after a few weeks no one has replied

User\AppData\Local\Temp

I stream large hir res audio files using DLNA and do not want cached local copies of these files to be copied to my pc, I have to clean this folder out just about every time I use Media monkey cause it create 5GB plus worth of files. It bascially creates multiple tmp files of each song I play through media moneky using DLNA in Win8
