HTML5 video

Where I can read information and see examples of loading chunks into html5 video?

Scenario:

  1. User starts playing a large video.
  2. 10-20 seconds of the video should be downloaded.
  3. If user watches first 10 seconds then next 10 seconds should be downloaded. Thus, there will be no loading if the user watches only the first 9 seconds of the video.

How to do it?

Hi Lena! Without implementing some sort of onLoad scripting, the best solution to explore would be setting the preload attribute for your <video> tag. See here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_preload.asp

Hope that helps!
