Buffer Length on Load

Hello JW Experts. I currently use the bufferlength=10 parameter to buffer a bit of video before playing. Because this occurs after the user clicks "play" the user then waits until the buffer is loaded before play. Is there a way (and is it even advisable?) to load some of the video into buffer onLoad to eliminate the wait on initiating play. I understand this will delay slightly the page loading but I would like to explore options here.

Thanks for any advice you can provide!

you have to start the player, then pause it so it will buffer.
