Almost every flash player has an option to display how much of buffer (or % of total video) is downloaded to the client. At the moment I don't see it in any implementation of html5 video player.
The real problem I am trying to solve is to have a way of knowing % of downloaded asset (image/swf/video whatever). In flash its easy by using MovieClipLoader and bytesLoaded property.
Is there any way of doing it in HTML/HTML5/Javascript (without relying on Flash) ?
Thanks!
See the buffered property but be aware that there are (as far as I know) no complete implementations of the HTML 5 video API, and that it is subject to change anyway, so browsers which support other parts of the spec may not support buffered.
