Network Buffer Size

[fedalcode]

Hello all,

thank you for your awesome application. I am using is every day without any issue.

I am a bit new to the coding world, I would like to know, if possible, what is the "command line" in ffmpeg for setting the"network buffer size"? Many providers, add additional buffer on the server side, and reducing the network buffer size from the app allows me to watch with less "delay" according to the live.

Thank you!

QMPlay2 is currently bad in live streams, because it buffers a lot of forward data. It's possible to press right arrow key to seek in buffer to reduce delay, but it's a manual work and it's inaccurate. In your screenshot, the number of 3.2 s on Information panel shows you how much data is buffered. When you pause a stream, all data will be buffered. Buffer can be discarded by seeking on keys.

Hello, thank you very much for this awesome wonderful software 🥇 we hope that it will be a simple option ti increase buffer network size buffer because sometimes the internet connection becomes very weak and while watching tv shows in very high quality! for example it will be great to have a network buffer of 60 seconds to avoid possible lag and jerks! if we pause the video, therefore player performs media file download independently of playback. Let it continue downloading even when playback is paused.

in the past, I used a plugin for media player called "3DYD Youtube Source", but it is compatible with only certain media players, we hope that it will be an option like this please, thank you!

Download media data independently from playback:

"This approach is useful when you have slow or unstable Internet connection (so playback is stuttering), or when you need to seek a lot within a file. However if all these cases are not about you, and usually you do not watch whole video , it may end up with bandwidth overuse since a lot of downloaded data eventually will be not watched.

When this option is unchecked, filter downloads only part of data that is about to be played.

Filter caches downloaded data in temporary directory regardless of the state of this option and never re-downloads the same data again. Caching is well visualized by Activity popup page."
