Seconding this. Right now chrome and safari seem to only buffer the next ~3 seconds of playback which is annoying when scrubbing on a slower connection. Firefox is able to preload significantly more (30+ seconds), but not sure what's causing the inconsistency.
The video player should already support this if you stream using HLS:
Make sure to configure cache path if you are using HLS/DASH.
Settings > System > Application Paths > Cache Path.
As discussed on Discord, would be great to add the feature that allows buffering a video in advance similar to some streaming services online. This can help with high bitrate files, slower connections and/or vpn access where files buffer alot and can ruin playback experience.
