## Issue description:

I was browsing the “Manage offline files” section of the app settings and noticed two tracks that were in the rolling cache, but these are local tracks saved to my device.

## Logs:

Upload description: [kangjj] Local files in rolling cache

## Additional information:

&nbsp;  
The bug doesn’t happen all the time so I’m not sure what causes certain tracks to be cached.  
&nbsp;

## Reproduction steps:

&nbsp;  
To reproduce, just use the app normally. One or two local tracks will eventually appear in the rolling cache.  
&nbsp;

## Media provider:

Local device

## Screenshots:

I can see the file being copied but can’t figure out what happened before to reach that state where the media is cached ☹

Do you have more details? Do you cast before and switch renderers? Switch media queues ? Anything specials ?

Not doing anything out of the ordinary… I only play files from my phone or from Google Drive, no casting. To reproduce the bug for the log, I merely played a bunch of local files.

@gamebeaker obviously unrelated, you can delete from cache from that screen.

@kangjj I can’t reproduce, something probably happens before ☹  
Can you try to remove those files from the rolling cache, clear playback cache, force kill the app. Enable logs and try to capture this ?

@Tolriq i just found a new file in my cache that wasn’t there before.  
The last time i played this file was in my uploaded log for [Upnp sometimes async - #2 by Tolriq](https://support.symfonium.app/t/upnp-sometimes-async/6447/2)  
so the caching should be in the log file: gamebeaker\_upnp\_sync3 for the track “Sham Pain”.

Thanks, so the files does not pass through the playback cache just a race when the previous files are played from a network provider.

Will fix that.
