Storing images in cache

[rickhurlbatt]

Question: Is the 25 seconds because of the fact that images are trasnferred first and then converted to bytes? I ask this since I think if you are loading these from data table rows, media objects are not cached so require to be fetched from the server.

I don’t remember seeing this kind of delay when using get_bytes on an image solely on the client side.

Have al ook at this solution to a similar problem I was having. It uses base64 endcoding to which you can then return from the server.

Convert object to Media or BlobMedia

Hi @rickhurlbatt I find it difficult to follow you without a clone-app example to look into. However, reading what you’ve written, I’d suggest to try to convert explicitly your BlobMedia image content to a BASE64 string in your list of dicts, then convert it back to binary in the client. This way your json.dumps(data) serialisation should work and - in the end - you are just doing explicitly what you were implicitly expecting it to do: convert a binary object to somw sort of string.
