Increase buffer size for slower data connections or/and pre-loading

    Hi,

    Like it is written in the title, I would like to know if there’s a way to adapt the player behavior to the end-user terminal, depending on if it’s a mobile terminal or not (UA based, I guess).

    In other words, if someone visits one of my posts with a Cue playlist inside, but has a very slow data connection due to carrier restriction (etc.), how automatically change audio buffer size and/or activate pre-loading so that the reader will be be able to listen to a music track without cliking Play/Pause every 10 seconds, but just by cliking and waiting 10 or 20 secs only once (buffering) OR/AND by starting reading previous article (pre-loading obviously)?

    Stan,

    Hi Stan,

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that’s possible. Cue is based on MediaElement.js, which is bundled with WordPress core. A quick search of the MediaElement.js issues list shows a few requests for this, but not much movement.

    Mobile platforms have also disabled certain features like preloading and autoplaying media, which further hinders the possibilities (it would have to be user-initiated).

    Cheers,
    Brady

    Sorry, I didn’t came back to thank you. So thanks even there’s no way to do this kind of hack easily due to the MediaElement.js limitation as you said.

    I encounter another issue either on mobile devices or desktop PC and I read in another post it is kinda tricky job to fix it editing js base file, my Cue playlists keep playing in loop until user actually stops the player by clicking the pause button…

    Audio playlist generally should play once and stop. I’m I wrong? This is their usual behaviour, I mean. Isn’t it? So why won’t you implement this as a default features? Would sound better to anyone isn’t a js expert… IMO I mean ??
