• Why does HTML5 video with very large mp4 (with +faststart, ie metadata at beginning), take ages to load ?

  8 septembre 2015, par Tom Jenkinson

  The video is rendered with ffmpeg with the "faststart" flag added meaning the metadata should be at the start of the file, and the server appears to be handling partial content requests correctly, so why does it need to have downloaded so much of the video before the player becomes enabled and can play the video ? I am testing it in Google Chrome.

  Once the player becomes enabled I can seek around to various points in the video pretty instantly and see the new partial content requests being made.

  Here is a link to the video : http://iptv.la1tv.co.uk/unibrass.mp4

  Here is a jsbin with the video tag : https://jsbin.com/rahewidoru . It takes a few minutes but does work after it loads.

  Any suggestions ?

  I realise there are other methods like HLS and dash which use chunks, but I would like to know why it isn’t working this way because I can’t find anywhere that provides a reason as to why it doesn’t work well.

• Seeking with the activeX VLC plugin has a bad response rate

  24 juin 2017, par Vitalis Hommel

  I am using axVLCPlugin.input.time = pos; where pos is the new time to browse through a video clip in small resolution (240p) in a VLC activeX part of my program using a slider, which updates pos.

  On an older laptop this worked flawlessly, with no delay. On my new laptop, this works only with significant delay, meaning that once I enter a new position, it takes about 1 second to show this position of the video on screen in the VLC activeX plugin. Previously it was instant.

  Is this

  1. a VLC issue(2.2.6 umbrella) ?
  2. a Visual Studio issue(VS 2017) ?
  3. a video encoding issue(ffmpeg version N-86482-gbc40674 - ffmpeg -i inputfile.extension output.mp4) ?
  4. a video codec issue ?

  EDIT : fortunately I found that the activex-plugin has an output. This is what it gives me : https://pastebin.com/GEKb22Gg - still unclear what that means

  How to track down the cause and solve it ?
