Quick question..
Is it just me who cant skip around embedded MP4 videos or is it a site thing to limit performance and bandwidth issues?
Just curious... 🤔 🤔
No, it's not just you. I always assumed it was whatever plugin Ra is using. It would be nice to have the ability to jump around as needed
The embedding works by adding HTML5 tags:
Code:
<video width="320" height="240" controls preload=metadata noautoplay>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
I think the key element here is "preload", you can skip if the file is fully loaded. I'm not sure if it's possibe to skip without preloading the whole video.
Here's something for you to test. Have a look at this video:

In my browser (firefox on Linux) I can move the slider anywhere and it will start playing from that time.

in Opera the file played but only at its own rate, no clicking anywhere had any effect on its start stop or jump to position
Tried also in FF, Chrome and Edge... none played it, or even displayed its preview...
FF did moan about to visible file or missing MEME plug in?

Weird... Works for me everywhere and at any slider positions. What am I doing wrong?

Reload fixes it.

This is what I see in FF and tried a CTRL + F5 but does not change anything

Should be SHIFT + Reload (I think it's SHIFT +CTRL + R), not CTRL + F5.

ok... tried all the button push combination in FF... still nothing.
