That should be working by default, no extra work is needed since that is the default behavior as you can check here: https://videogular.github.io/videogular2-showroom/#/master-player

Can you give me more information about what you want to do??

@Elecash I want to pause the video, IDK 5 seconds maybe 10, waiting for more buffer load when the conncetion is very slow, so user can see a more fluid video, not one that stops every millisecond. To emulate this slow connection i'm using throttling in Chrome developer tools

This is a new feature, we can try to add it in the next release.
