I've now updated html5media to respect the new preload attribute described in
the
HTML5 specification. This attribute replaces the original autobuffer attribute
in the
specification.
html5media still supports the old autobuffer attribute for
backwards-compatibility.
However, it is recommended that you follow the specification and use the
preload
attribute in your code.
Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 only support the autobuffer attribute at present. Thus, if
you
want to enable autobuffering in these browsers but still write code that will
work in
the future, you can include both attributes in your video tags as follows, and
it will all
still work.
<video src="foo.mp4" autobuffer preload></video>
The HTML5 specification also allows for setting the value of the preload
attribute to
"metadata" to instruct the player to only download the video metadata. This is
currently treated the same as autobuffer="none" by html5media, as there appears
to
be no way to make Flowplayer emulate this satisfactorily.
