Your comment:
Yeah there is delay in the beginning when metadata is being fetched and initial buffering is taking place. You are perhaps looking for some sort of load call to do prefetching "off-screen" and then start actual playback with a play call? Another way would be as you suggested to show a thumbnail/overlay/preview while loading and then hide it based on an playing event. the. But, we will look into ways to improve the initial flow and user experience.
Prefetching could be great, but it would also be nice to have an option to create a looping video thumbnail (e.g. 5 seconds long), we can show on our home screen, and when the users tap it, the full video opens up in fullscreen.
Any updates on this one?
No we have not taken any action on this one yet.
The idea of just showing the full video in a smaller view, does not perform well in the app, and we want to avoid users seeing a loading spinner when video starts. We want it to play immediately, so a video preview/thumbnail solution could be really cool. I know Mathilde also want this functionality on matas.dk,
