Description:
Cortado buffers ahead of the file, but for most videos it does not buffer enough to capture the entire video. Seeking, and playing again often cause the file to reload, this should never happen for reasonably small files. For users on slow connections with high bitrate files it does not pre-buffer enough to play the file well.
It would be nice if at the first buffer underrun cortado estimated the transmission speed and then pre-buffered enough to make halt-free playback likely. It would be impressive if the transmission speed estimate was saved in domstorage, userData, or cookie so that subsequent files experienced no timeouts while avoiding users of fast connections with unneeded pre-buffering delays.
