When do the browse ids change?

There's no such thing as an immutable artist id or album id in Media Center.

The browse tree gives different ids each run.
referring to MCWS/v1/Browse/Children

what does "each run" mean here?

each time MC is started?
whenever the underlying content changes?

context = to what extent is it safe to cache such values?

MC restarts invalidate them, and they are repopulated lazily, eg. it depends on the order stuff is accessed in.

I don't believe they get cleared mid-run.

Ok thanks

Theoretically I could cache these values then if uptime was available, it doesn't seem to be though. Can it be added to /Alive? Though that still wouldn't help if new content were added. Probably the higher level nodes could.be cached but not the actual content
