When the video is self hosted, the video has to load completely before you can start watching it.
This is much too long.
Any way we can set a pre-load time of say 15secs & the have video start even if it's not finished loading?
Self hosted video pre-loading time & autoplay?

Hey,
I searched the docs for a parameter to control the preloading time but couldn't find any: http://www.projekktor.com/docs/configuration - I'l ask Kriesi if he knows one though.Posted 1 year ago # -
Thank you Dude,
Let's see what Kriesi finds.
Meanwhile I found this here: http://www.projekktor.com/docs/playlists?DokuWiki=5de50a4615d617f433f9381956ea268a#projekktor_playlist_format
In order to prevent skipping and pausing of the first clip you can set config.disablePause and config.disallowSkip to TRUE like that:
[ 1. projekktor('#player_a', {
2. controls: true,
3. volume: 0.5,
4. playlist: [
5. {
6. 0:{src:'advertisement.mp4', type: 'video/mp4'},
7. 1:{src:'advertisement.ogv', type: 'video/ogv'},
8. config: {
9. disablePause: true,
10. disallowSkip: true
11. }
12. },
13. {
14. 0:{src:'myvideo.mp4', type: 'video/mp4'},
15. 1:{src:'myvideo.ogv', type: 'video/ogv'}
16. }
17. ]
18. });]If I understand this right, by changing this to false, the vid should start playing when I click play and pause when I pause it even while loading.
9. disablePause: false,
But, it's not giving me a pre-load time so the video will most likely stutter unless I pause it long enough to load part of it myself.
Maybe there's another parameter that can be added to this like: autoPlayAfter: 30 (as in after 30seconds) or something of the kind.Or maybe I'm just totally wrong and this isn't where the var should go if there is one to add for pre-load time.

To be honest I am not quite sure if using this media player was a good choice by me. it seems to have some anyoing glitches, one of them the fact that sometimes I can play a video without preloading it and other times thats simply not possible. I will have a look at the issue but not sure if I myself can fix that...
