Can VLC on AppleTV cache a looped video?

Postby DesterWallaboo » 07 Mar 2024 23:13

Can VLC on AppleTV cache a live stream that is on loop, so that it doesn't continuously download repeated data? So if I were to create a 10-minute video that I want looped. Would the AppleTV be able to cache the video and just play it endlessly on loop?

No, VLC cannot cache a live stream for that long. However, you can do a video and upload it to VLC on Apple TV to loop repeatedly. Many people do that for advertisement, etc.
