In reply to HTML5 Video Support In Dolphin 7.1 Osho

daihlo•25th of October 2012

Very nice update :-)
Have a question, is there any way that videos that are uploaded to the site rather than embed, can allow a user to forward skip without rendering first? Like youtube will or lighttpd will allow...
would be a major feature for dolphin to handle video as a serious media package.

Any ideas about this?

no. try uploading an flv file in dolphin (pre 7.1) then skip forwards before it renders. It will not jump forwards.
Its the server settings and codecs that allow this. I used to run a media server for video sites, using lighttpd. Gave me this feature, same as you get on youtube and other big vid sites. Its essential though for a decent video site these days!

Absolutely agree with Daihlo. Imagine having to sit waiting for 5minutes of a video until it gets to what you want to see. That is a turnoff for the user.

I dont think this is something that can be built into Dolphin as its more to do with back end setup. But, it can be coded in as an option at least as far as compatibility goes.
