This happens when I add remote hosted video on focus theme… So the video is like 130 MB in size, and it start playing only when it’s downloaded completely… Can I change this ? I want it to start playing within 10 seconds and buffer while it’s playing

    Hi Dario

    Unfortunately this video player is controlled by jPlayer, so we can’t change this behaviour. With a video that size though, you would probably be better of hosting it somewhere like YouTube or Vimeo. Their players are highly refinded and handle bitrate adjustments based on user connection speed.
