Pre-load the next video while playing the previous one from the playlist

nareshkumar — Oct 07, 2015 04:52AM EDT

I want to buffer next video from play-list, while its about to complete the current, so that user experience smooth transition between two videos.

We do not currently have built-in functionality for pre-loading videos, but I will escalate this to our engineers as a feature request.

According to our engineers, JW Player 7.2 will use the HTML5 preload attribute, but this is only for the first playlist item. We are cooking something up for multi-item playlists.

No update yet for preloading multi-item playlist content and I do not have an estimated timeline to share at this time.
