Buffer complete video in HLS and Flash


We are using HLS on PC for VOD delivery. When user pauses the video or when bandwidth is good we want the TS fragments to be downloaded and kept in buffer like mp4 progressive download. Is there any attribute that needs to be set to get this behavior to predownload ts fragments.

We need this functionality as we have few clients who have very low bandwidth. Video plays for few seconds and stops while its downloading the next segment. In this scenario user can pause the video where video gets buffered and plays.


Details :
JW Player : 6.12
Streaming : HLS+HTTP using flash on desktop.

I don’t know of a way to set HLS for progressive download. Could you point to an mp4 instead?

Mp4 streaming is working fine and we are not interested in that. We want to know with HLS, Flash player on VOD can we buffer ts fragments, if the bandwidth is good. Flash player running on the browser is JWPlayer. Is there a way we can download/buffer more fragments as per the above requirement.

You are referring to VOD as opposed to a live stream, correct? I do not know of a way to do this with HLS.
