Period of Black Before Video Begins #25

Closed asethwright closed 9 years ago

asethwright commented 9 years ago

I am loading an MP4 video into the player from a remote host. There is a period of black before the video begins to play. Is this a limitation of the device due to rendering? I don't get this black (maybe 2 seconds) on my Mac, only when testing on the actual FireTV stick.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is due to the FireTV stick processing time to load the video, we have actually helped alleviate this issue on an upcoming release by showing the spinner for a longer period until the video is actually ready to play(we are using the canplay event in your current code, but that event is firing too early). I am not sure when this code will hit mainline.

No worries! Thanks for the response.
