jplayer buffer / delayed start

jamesjaie

I have been uploading full 1080p videos from my iPhone to my FTP server. Jplayer has no problem playing these files but because they are so big in size playback stutters. Jplayer seems to start playing the video immediately without waiting for a buffer to fill for smooth playback. If I start and pause and wait a bit the rest of the video plays without any stuttering as it should.

So I am wondering... Is there a way to specify a buffer size before playback starts or a timed period to wait to allow the buffer to fill?

Thank you!

If there is, it will require custom configuration of jPlayer. You can find information on that script on http://www.jplayer.org/

Thanks for the reply. I will see if I can come up with a solution. If anyone else has ideas please post. Thanks!

I think there is no such buffer to configure. If available the player uses HTML5 and that has just a simple preload attribute.
