Do any of the browsers current support streaming with the HTML5 video tag?
So that you don't have to download the entire video before playback can start. And so that you can skip ahead and start playing something towards the end of the video without downloading the whole video.
- wmf 16y agoSo that you don't have to download the entire video before playback can start. That's called progressive downloading, and it would be totally stupid not to do it. And so that you can skip ahead and start playing something towards the end of the video without downloading the whole video. That's called seeking, which is harder. Firefox can do seeking if your Web server supports byte ranges. It looks like Chrome does the same thing but I'm not entirely sure.
