There is some setting to change to speed up the loading of the "progress bar"

I have 50mbs of download but the bar loads too slowly or anyway .. loads a piece and stop, arrived at the end reload 1 piece again ...
Can you set that the bar always loads and not a tot of minutes?

As far as I know that is the way streaming works nowadays, YouTube behaves exactly the same. ;-)

There are times when it loads fast ... other times when it loads too slowly ... and this causes buffering .. although I have 50mbs download

That sounds like the media bitrate is just to high for the time the media is being played.  In reality no one knows what traffic shaping ISPs are doing.  You have 50Mbps download speed on the Client?  What is your server upload speed?  But it could be latency between point A and point B,

The server power is 1 GB download / upload

The bitrate is on 1300

I have checked speedtests on many sites

 

 

(TV series) As soon as you start the content, load the progress bar 30 seconds ...

Reached these 30 seconds, charge 10/15 seconds at a time ... Why does it not keep charging always? or at least increase this number to 5 minutes ... load those 10 15 seconds and stop

 

(Movie) You don't see the progress bar moving forward

 
I think it is buffering ... but I noticed that sometimes it does it even when the loading bar is sufficient ... it's like jerky "lag" .. then it starts again

Without logs (server and ffmpeg if present) it is hard to say.  I have a 1Gb server online also but don't play content on it, and never get anywhere close to my Home 100Mb download speed retrieving anything from that server do to traffic shaping.  I get anywhere from 1Mb to about 40Mb depending on the time of day.

 

So depending on the route traffic has to take will have a factor.

 

Speedtests can be deceiving as it is usually just a test to the closest server.  I get different result when I connect to a server within my own state vs a server on the east coast.  There are just to many factors to say when you are referring to online.

 

If it is direct playing and buffering, that usually means the media bitrate is to much for the connection.

@@luigi92 can you please go over an example? Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks !

 
Sometimes ... there are these 2 problems:
- Lag "Also even if the progress bar is full"
- Buffering "Progress bar doesn't load fast enough"
 
Can you set how many seconds the progress bar should load? currently only loads 30 seconds at a time .. even if you pause ... it does not load the progress bar

Can you provide the information requested above?

Can you add an option that makes you choose the time to load in the bar when you pause?
Currently when you pause. charge yes and no 10 30 seconds, then no longer load

That's only possible on some platforms, but not all.

I was using the computer, it's an important thing for these reasons:
 
1)If I have slow internet, I pause and charge kind of 5 minutes.
 
2) If a restart is made, there are 5 minutes to keep watching
 
Currently it seems to me that it only loads 10/30 seconds.
 
In movies, that gray bar, you don't even see it loading
