Methods and apparatus are described for facilitating the client-side caching of media content based on one or more properties of the media content. Information relating to the cacheability of different types of content is communicated to the media player on a client device in the manifest or playlist employed by the media player to request fragments of the media content. The media player uses this information to make decisions about how to cache the corresponding content.
