I'm using Video.js to play back videos in MP4 format on a client's website. The player uses html5 video and Adobe Flash Player as a fallback. (In my case it seems to use Flash always so I don't know if the problem exists in the native html5 player as well.)
The video only starts playing after the *.mp4 file is completely loaded. So no buffer for a few seconds. The file must be completely downloaded by the browser before it starts playing.
When the video is long, the visitor has to wait very long before he can even see that the video is working.
The question now is, is it the browser, the script (video.js) or the video file that creates that problem.
On the videojs.com website however the video is playing back while loading, so works properly. Therefore I think it can't be the browser.
Has anyone else had that problem? How can I fix this issue?
Any advice is very much appreciated!
Thanks
Max
