I believe I came across the folder location once for the cache, on a non-jailbroken phone I think you can use 'iFile' or one of those desktop programs to look for the folder and check its contents.
You can also install emulators (Provenance) this way on non-jailbroken iOS 8.1, at iemulators.com. I am guessing they use the same method to install, there's a note at the home page talking about it, and that this method may not last forever (I guess Apple may be able to block it somehow post-install?)

Not doing that here. Just sits there with small banner ad on the bottom. Behaved impeccably since downloading.
Only issue was John Carter was some bloody teen movie instead.
Shoot me, I like John Carter.

I would like confirmation of this too, too many conflicting information.
I prefer to stream rather than download but would still like an answer on whether the movie is being cached
p.s movies play fine on my iPhone 6, even on cellular (three) but I found the iPad app was slow and kept buffering (Sky Broadband via VPN).
Could be your VPN that's causing a slow connection, especially if it's a free one.
I get this now and again. Its a part of the inbuilt advertising for the app. I just swipe back to the app when it happens. Also this doesn't happen to me when I'm watching a movie.
Apple closed the certificate? -just a guess, I think something like this happened before. Nothing working now, not even opening on a device that already had it installed ( iOS 8.1 moviebox 3.1 build 3 )
There are other apps that use this method. This emthod in theory can work w any app that stays on a boxed in state and doesn't modify anything. You might have a fast line but your ISP is blocked access to the app addressees. So yeah fast line but no freedom for you
My apt has a 4MB line and can start a mvoie in a min in HD using the app. at my mothers house w a 10MB line it takes a few seconds. Slower but open highway I would like confirmation of this too, too many conflicting information.

Well it HAS to cache somewhere, there is no way around it. It deletes the cache almost instantly IMO. No issues w the app since it came out originally for me and no eating of space.
I had to restore my iPad Air to factory 8.1 just 2 days ago. I reinstalled everything including Moviebox (3.1 from pyger) and it worked fine.
I then jailbroke my iPad Air and moviebox still works just fine.
My sons iPad Mini 1 was still running 7.1 to keep the jailbreak, but since the pangu jailbreak seems to be stable now, we went ahead and updated his Mini to 8.1, then jailbroke it. He then came to me AFTER the fact and said we forgot to put Moviebox on it, so I figured instead of trying to remember the moviebox repo and install it I would just see if it worked using the same unjailbroken method and it did.
No issues. Both jailbroken and unjailbroken

Bah. Not working for me either now. Just blacks the screen for a second, then back to home screen. How has apple done that as I haven't updated anything since installing?
