Hi all!
Ok, so I have nightmare project on my hands (well, it’s not soooo bad).
I’m tasked with creating a site that runs full-screen video in the background at all time. I have it set up in XML in “batches” of 10-second clips that correspond to navigation sections. Currently the video just selects a random clip out of that batch once the current video has stopped playing, so it gets a random chain of videos.
Of course, when it gets onto the crappy server, my framerate plummets (first disappointment) and i get a little pause in between clips (second disappointment). What I’d like to do is start loading the videos once you get to the site and hope that they’re cached by the time they come up. My first thought is to put those batches into shuffled arrays rather than pulling them randomly at load, so I can at least have a predictable order. After that, I’m stuck.
Any thoughts?
