Hi,
Is it Possible to stop the Caching of Images (For example Fanart) for an Plugin?

As a developer, if you set the image there is an option to not use cache, but in my experience that is very flimsy and still caches probably 75% of the time. If the image is being set via xml and a property I have not personally found a way to prevent caching. Imo the caching is pretty bad for hi res images it down scales them horribly. If you are not a dev and want overall caching prevented I would suggest a cache clearing addon or writing a script that runs and clears the cache every x minutes / hours. . Hopefully a kodi dev may have a better response, but I have not found anything better.

"An option to not use cache"
Do you Mean:
endOfDirectory(...)
endOfDirectory(handle[, succeeded, updateListing, cacheToDisc])-

Or is there another Option ?

there's an option for scripts, i think that's what Protocol-X is referring to.
