Music videos and trailers

THDBASED · 2007-05-18, 22:30

I want to make a suggestion to improve the my trailer and my music videos plug-ins. The Internet connection I have at home is a very fast one so normally and on normal sites I do not have a problem when viewing videos or other media stuff. When I watch a trailer with the normal browser I do not have any hick ups or stuttering. Now here is the problem, when I want to watch a music video or a trailer using MP It is practically unwatchable, the sounds plays normally most of the time but the video hangs and has to load every 5 sec or so.

Isn't there a solution to this problem? I mean like buffering the video before starting to play it. I think it is better to wait half a minute or so and then start the video so it will play without any hick ups or having to stop to load more content. You could have a screen that displays some text to tell the user the video is loading while he/she is waiting, something like "Please wait while the video is loading"

Many thanks, MP rocks!

mmm...am I the only one with this problem?

Weird, I think not many people use these plug-ins, I can not believe I am the only one having this problem...

I have this problem sometimes also. But not often enough to look for a solution.

mmm...strange I have one of the fastest Internet connections available in Belgium and I have this problem almost every time, some are very bad some are a little bit better but still unwatchable...

Anyone else here a frequent user of these plug-ins (my trailers & my music videos) and also having these kind of problems?

Maybe one of the devs could also comment on this and maybe discuss a possible solution (shouldn't be that hard).

I never noticed anything wrong with "My Trailers" but I do with "My Music Video" which has some stuttering but it's still watchable here.

It Should Been a way to set up the buffer for caching the trailer/musicvideos

If I understand what you are saying correctly I agree with you! There should be an option like that!

Did any of you find a solution to this problem ?

I have the same problem, the video hangs a lot !
But my internet connection is supposed to be very fast (28 Mb).

I really love this plugin, and I would like to see it functionning normally

Thanks...

Nope there is still no solution for this problem, there should some buffering before starting to play a trailer. I contacted the author of the "My trailer" plugin to get some help but there was no response.

I too can't believe that we are the only ones having this problem...because I too have a really fast connection at home...
