Start to buffer next item in play list when current item is fully buffered

Posted: Sep 27, 2009

Hi

I would like flowplayer to buffer the next item in a playlist when the current item is fully buffered. This would allow seamless transitions between items in a playlist.

At the moment flowplayers current behaviour is that it will only buffer the current item in the playlist. This means that when it switches to the next item in the play list it doesn't have any data to play which causes a slight pause no matter how fast your internet connection is.

Many Thanks

Is this for http streaming ? It would have to load the next item, I would probably arm it to load and buffer 10 seconds before the end of the current clip.

I'll investigate what happens with rtmp streaming + dynamic streaming functionality this might also serve the purpose.

This function would be really useful in low bandwidth areas. Can't beieve it has not been developed yet. If someone has written some code please let me know.

for http, you would be downloading two files at once theoretically.

I guess - the same request I have here:

http://flowplayer.org/forum/2/51405#post-51405

Please can someone suggest a possible solution? I have many clients with bandwidth restrictions that make this request essential for delivering video.

Thanks.

i tried loading the file with ajax request, once the other playing file get buffered-completely, i havent tested well on it, because mp3 files were small, so im gonna try to test with bigger file and see how it comes around. but its an idea to share.
