Is it possible to increase the buffer? was created by mettaben
My client wants the video to wait longer before it starts playing because of the delays on slow connections. Is there a way to change the way the buffer is set and make it set bigger? Is it something that would take flash programming?
Thanks,
Benjamin

I'm bumping this because I would like to delay the video also :)

I am bumping this as well.
This would be a great hack. If any is familiar with flash, they would probably know.
I have read that the value could be set in the .flv file itself as well as in the .php of the mambot or plugin.

I would also like to see this option. My videos display the "buffering" wheel almost constantly throughout playback.

I was looking to do the same and I actually found how to do it for FLV files. Although I cannot guarantee that it will work for other formats, I think the principles are the same.
You need to add the parameter bufferlength=X to the string of parameters sent to the player where X is the number of seconds you will assign to the buffer.
So you need to open /mambots/content/plugin_jw_allvideos.php.
Look for
The part we need to modify is
For the example, I will set the buffer to 30 seconds by adding '&bufferlength=30'
