Hi, anyone can help me with this problem?My player keep re-buffering after it played. I like to have replay without buffering again (like *outube), so when the video are finished, we can play again without buffering.
Thank you.
Do you have a link?
Thank you for the reply Ethan

does this happen if you upgrade from 5.8 to 5.9?
Same problem...
could be a bandwidth issue at/with your server BUT I am not certain.
Since you are using large files what happens IF you use a small video file for testing.
You are using progressive download here, so the re-buffer is expected.
You can get around it by using streaming.

Thanks for the reply guys.
@Willie Meier...large&small video has the same problem.
@Ethan...I'm not getting it clearly. the page you were give is a pseudostream,which I already implement a few instruction in that page, such as installing both streaming mod h264&flv, set the provider option to http. So how do i change that progressive download behaviour on my player?what options should I change or added?
Thank you
I will bet that the issue at hand is a "bandwidth" issue as your page(the link you provided above) takes a long time to load and that the page is in excess of 1mb.
In addition you are making too many(excessive number) http calls to advertisers.
The video is competing with the multitude of IP address that reflect the many advertisers present.
*I would, if possible, set up a test page without any advertising on it and verify IF this also occurs.*
You need to do three essential things which may not be in/under your control:
<ol>
<li>code optimization</li>
<li>page caching</li>
<li>more powerful servers</li>
</ol>
@Willie Meier...thanks for the support. I'm using local Indonesian Bandwidth called IIX, so my web are very fast accessed from inside Indonesia. So i thing it's not bandwidth problem.I can watch the video without stopped for buffering. But my site are slow accessed from outside Indonesia :D
But the real problem for me is, after video are fully played, if I want to play it again, it buffering again. So it's like the buffer are gone after the video are finish played. I taka an example from youtube, if we open some video, we play it, after it finished, we can replay it without have to buffering the video again.
(sorry for my bad english)
What is your downstream/upstream out of curiosity?
The page take 15-21s to load which is too excessive as well as being too large(1mb). There is a bandwidth issue especially with all of the http calls being made to/by the advertisers, an excessive amount IMHO.
If I view the video it is continually buffering every 2-5s and I have a 50mbit connection.
Btw, the IIX(Indonesian Internet eXchange) gets its internet from IndoSat.
I also wonder IF you are sharing your hosting which can and will add to the overall equation.
There are too many factors involved that when all added up can yield the issue that is being experienced.
IMHO, this isn't a JWPlayer issue and out of your control.
I would contact your technical service to see IF they are able to shed any light on this issue.
@Pandu – If you are using pseudo streaming, it shouldn’t re-buffer.
See this link – http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/testing/?file=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bitsontherun.com%2Fvideos%2FQvxp3Jnv-483.mp4&provider=http&height=240&width=400&http.startparam=starttime
It does not re-buffer, and uses pseudo-streaming.
I can see that Ethan, thanks. But I still don't know where did I go wrong with my player setting.Can you help me?thanks.
What module are you using for pseudo streaming, then?
I was setting my server for pseudostreaming as I read on the article on longtail documentation.
I have installed both modules on my apache.
Which specifically? I have installed the H.264 one and it worked fine. Are you sure you installed them correctly?
Thank's for the reply Ethan
Both, flv modules and h264 are installed & I think I installed them correctly. Since the pseudostreaming are running well.
And I found something, if I activate pseudostreaming (by adding provider=http), it will re-buffering on 2nd play, but when I deactivate the pseudostreaming (removing provider=http), it doesn't re-buffering on 2nd play.
Any clue about this?
I would make sure you installed them correctly, I don’t think you did. Try to re-install them.
Sorry Ethan...my was down for a few days..I re-installing the OS. I have reinstalled both modules again. Still got the same problem.
Thank you.
Re-buffering on 2nd play, that happens if you use RTMP or pseudo streaming, but not progressive download, I’m pretty sure this is the expected behavior.
which becomes magnified with the presence of a bandwidth issue.
Out of curiosity, does this issue happen constantly or during a particular time of the day?
Have you tested your downstream and upstream and compared them with values that you are paying for at your ISP? It is well worth testing this
re-read my previous post above.
I would in the first place contact technical support at my ISP in your case.
I am not sure if that is relevant as if it was it would have applied to his progressively downloaded file as well…
In essence two different protocols are being used namely, the RTMP(for the pseudo streaming)and the http(for progressive downloads).
Perhaps, but I wonder how the 3-way handshake is affected with the difference between RTMP protocol as opposed to the http protocol being used for the progressive d/l.
Gee, I wish I have available the tools that I had when I was senior operations engineer at a satellite earth station then I would be able to pinpoint exactly BUT I am now retired ;-)
BUT this may be beyond the scope of this forum.
Yep.
Thank you Ethan & willie for the support.
@Ethan...so do you mean I can not use pseudostreaming without re-buffering on 2nd play?
Np. Yes.
