What do you mean?
I don't want the buffer function and just wanna play by what the bandwidth can provide.
Apparently i saw the 'bufferlength' in the setup wizard, does that mean when i set it to 0 there will be no buffer?
Yes – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12536/configuration-options
bufferlength ( 1 ) Flash only
Number of seconds of the file that has to be loaded before the player starts playback. Set this to a low value to enable instant-start (good for fast connections) and to a high value to get less mid-stream buffering (good for slow connections).
Hi Ethan,
So it only works for flash?
What about mp4?
Regards,

MP4 works in Flash, too.
i don't want video to buffer..i use bufferlength(0) but it still take time to start the video in jwplayer.

Can you show me a link?
Hi Ethan, I have the same difficulty. I want to disable buffering. Actually i am providing streaming url. But the problem is when i pause and then when i again play the file it will resume from the point where i paused it. whereas i want it to play runtime.
var tmpflashvars = {
"file":"radio url",
"type":"sound",
"autostart":"false",
"playlist":"none",
"repeat":"list",
"backgroundTransparent":"true",
"duration":"",
"bufferlength":'2',
}
}
var tmpparams = {
"allowfullscreen":"false",
"allowscriptaccess":"always",
"wmode":"transparent",
"bgcolor":"#1d3657",
"duration":""
}
var tmpattributes = {
"id":"song_media_player",
"name":"song_media_player"
}
swfobject.embedSWF("<?php echo URL; ?>player/player.swf", "song_media_player_container", "100%", "55", "9.0.115", 'false', tmpflashvars, tmpparams, tmpattributes, mediaPlayerLoaded);
Also, i want to know is there a way to hide seek bar and time duration (shown at the ends of seek bar) on run time.
Please help !!
Do you have a link?
Hey first issue was solved by me. Just want to know is there any way to hide duration shown at the end of seek bar at runtime.
Glad you got it.
U still dint solve my query :(.
I want to know if it is possible to hide duration at the ends of seek bar at runtime.
You can either set the controlbar variable to none, or remove the time slider via our skinning model – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/14/skinning-the-jw-player-5
Can we change the skin of the player at runtime i.e. using javascript api?
I’m afraid not.
Hi Ethan,
Is it possible to stop the video download after few seconds if user "paused" the playback?
I saw youtube has a "stop video download" option if I right click on the video player. even on pause it stop the buffering after few seconds.
It isn’t possible, sorry.
