What is your video source?

If you make the video yourself you might be able to fix the video headers so it streams directly, see http://flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/pseudostreaming.html scroll down to Preparing your movie files for pseudostreaming.

can you help me i dont understand how i make this

I think the problem is your server bandwidth is too low

yeah but pseudostreaming can help me but i dnt understand the tutorial

[poisondeathray]

pseudostreaming won't help at all you if bandwidth is too low

if you have progressive http setup, then make sure you have moov atom at the beginning (e.g. mp4faststart , or flvtool++ for flv metadata) - it does play automatically, but very slowly + buffers, so it's not a moov atom issue, it's a LOW bandwidth issue

but your website, the progress bar barely even moves after long time (maybe because I'm far away)

if you don't want to spend $ for bandwidth, use free hosting sites like vimeo, youtube, blip.tv - you can embed into your own webpage.

yeah i know this sites but this player looks like so awesome i dnt want another but is ther no way to do anything

Yes flowplayer is great, and you can use customizable options and skins etc..

But that server host connection is too slow. Psuedostreaming (or any other configuration) won't fix the connection. Look for another ISP or host, or content delivery network (CDN). That is the real problem

you know any other host where the vid loads faster

[poisondeathray]

you know any other host where the vid loads faster

Not sure of good hosts in Europe, but Amazon Cloudfront has worldwide servers, decent service & price

You can try Rackspace, GoGrid, SimpleCDN . I don't know if those have worldwide mirrors

EDIT: actually SimpleCDN went out of business

it makes me so angry its not fair my vid is just 3 min. and the flowplayer need 10 years till finishing with buffer -V-

but why Baldrick write "If you make the video yourself you might be able to fix the video headers so it streams directly, see http://flowplayer.org/plugins/stream...streaming.html scroll down to Preparing your movie files for pseudostreaming."
is this the way to make the stream faster?

[poisondeathray]

No, pseudostreaming won't help at all in your case

You still need to send the data from the server, that is the bottleneck . Psuedostreaming doesn't affect the physical transfer rates

It will be just as slow with psuedostreaming (actually a bit slower than http progressive download), just that you will be able to seek & play at a point more quickly, instead of downloading entire video first

but pseudostreaming say you can make the stream of youre vids faster i think or

[poisondeathray]

It's actually a bit SLOWER in real life. It only allows you to seek to a point and begin playing faster, without waiting for entire video to download . It allows you to have that feature of real streaming and seeking (rtmp/rsp), without having to pay for RTMP server bandwidth (very expensive)

With HTTP progresssive download, you cannot seek to a point in the video without downloading entire video first

can we make a test but i dnt know how can you help me

I don't think you understand. It doesn't change the speed (it's actually a bit slower from overhead, not sure why, but it is very slightly slower)

If you drive 200km/h you arrive from point A, to point B, to point C a lot faster than if you drove 10km/h

Think of bandwidth as analogy for car speed

Your server bandwidth is very low probably <50kb/s . So it's slow. A 500kb/s connection would be 10x as fast. A 5Mb/s connection would be 100x as fast

Pseudostreaming allows you do start at intermediate points . So you can go to point B and stream right away. But if you drive from point B to point C at 10km/h it's still VERY SLOW, just as slow as before. You need to drive faster speed if you want to get ther faster

Similarily, you are still transfering data at 50kb/s, very slow. You need faster transfer speed if you want to deliver video faster.

Bandwidth costs money. If you want fast speed you have to pay Euros. (same with cars )

Free hosts have limited speed, limited control over player, GUI, fewer options. Most have advertising unless you pay a fee for premium account. Vimeo free account has high bandwidth, but you cannot use flowplayer

awesome -___- if i upload it on youtube and embed in my site it looks like so poor just with the flowplayer it looks like amazing oh man thats really not fair
i mean watch this (yeah i know its a porn but dnt see the pron just see the buffer time)
