Something we would often do is create a cache buster. By dynamically generating and appending a random string to a file name, it forces the server to always download the most recent version of that file (because it think its downloading a file with a different name). Works great when we overwrite file names a lot.

are you swapping videos with the same names, or are you updating the xml file to point to different filenames?

you can also do this on the server side by properly configuring cache headers...

We were keeping the filenames the same, then we realized the problem and started changing the names to see if that would fix it.
I will send this link above over to vendor. Thanks!

Thanks for the help with this. I know next to nothing about XML and what the issue is here. I'm basically passing along your good ideas to our vendor and I think we're making some progress. So yeah...thanks alot.
Plus I really dig the term "Cache Buster". Who you gonna call?
