Hi guys,

I currently have a video player in my flash website which play .FLV files from a specific folder.

It works great for my local target audience as the connection is fast so there’s little to no buffer/choke. However for my overseas target audience, they’ve been complaining its annoying as the video kept choking/buffer.

It’s something like when you’re watching youtube and when its really slow, it plays a little then stop a little and so on…

Is there a good buffer system I can add to my video player to ensure minimal choke when the video is played?

eg: Detects user’s internet speed and decide how much % of buffer is needed before play  
eg: Buffer until % until play, if it chokes in the middle buffer another % and play etc.

I know it’s out of the topic but if you can do it I’m willing to pay for you to integrate this function to my player.

Thanks for reading guys!

Cheers!
