I have always noticed that rewinding a video even for 15 seconds takes a lot more time to buffer in any app than forwarding it even by 1 minute, why is it so?
Isn’t the previous one already loaded and so should appear instantaneously?
In: Technology
When you fast forward, the service is already pre-preparing that data for you, because it knows you’re going to request it in next 30 second or so
But with reverse, not only has your player tossed out the data, the server has too. So it has to go into back archives and retrieve the data once again.
