Video 2018.1 VideoPlayer

Hi there,

Trying to stream 500mb video files from an Azure CDN Optimized for streaming video, and experiencing some stuttering while the stream buffers, Have tried just pausing playback of the video player for 10-15 seconds but it made no difference whatsoever.
Is there a way of specifying a buffer size or is there something more I can do to optimize the playback.

I'm beginning to think it may be best to just temporarily download the video when it's selected to temporary storage on the device (iOS btw) before starting playback, but that is likely to be 30-40 seconds of wait time.

Maybe it's the server technology we're using, and we should just look at some other way of serving the video.

Any hints, tips or help would be appreciated.

 

Maybe trying AssetBundle approach? That way you download the hole video before playing it, right?

 

Asset bundles aren't really an option, we're serving individual video files from a microsoft hosted server.

We've tried a whole range of bitrates and resolutions to make/keep the size down but aren't having much success in getting a stutter free experience.

 

Uh! I did tryed downloading a remote video from StreamingAssets from my webpage usign Webgl (I was testing that stuff) to some kind of browser IndexedDB, maybe you can adapt that code (the goal in my testing project was to download the hole video first and play it later. In WebGL I faced a dead end)
