Why not keep buffer/download video when paused? was created by baijianpeng

This is a feature request.

Today I made a simple test with Yendif Video Share component v1.2.1 on Joomla 3.3.6 .

Well, I did not change anything, just the default sample data of this component. It brings a Youtube video.

When playing this video at frontend, I clicked on the player and it paused. This is good. But, when paused, the player will NOT keep buffering / dowloading that video. I think this is not good.

If the player can automatically buffer/download video when paused, this will make the playback more smooth especially for narrow web connections.

Thank you.

No. You've misunderstood. The VIDEO is still buffered / downloaded when you have paused the playback. You just don't see the update in buffer bar as we stop all the related timer functions to maintain the performance.

I think you can let the progress bar keep going to indicate that the video is buffering. For the "current time", it can be indicated by a small icon on the progress bar (like the circle icon of Youtube). This will avoid some confusion like mine.

Thank you.
