Does Chromecast have a cache?

[mzanette]

Don't have a chromecast yet, I was wondering about something, does it cache anything the first time through watching it? Say if I watch a show off Netflix, and then I want to re-watch it again, will it download over wifi again or does it store the show and play from the cache?

dont think so. it might buffer a bit when you open a session.

It has 512MB of RAM and 2GB of flash. Plenty to buffer, but not enough to store an entire show.
