why every video- and musicplayer seems to have difficulties loading videos or audio from any point but the very start?
In: Technology
Same way you are fast to find the first word in a book, but you are slow to find word number 300.
Its easy to find the start of the video. But when you ask the program to find minute 23 is harder.
Now. You might say, since a video is timed and a computer only need to go to frame with the searched time. Should be easy right?
Well, to save space videos are compressed. There are formats that allow fast junping to any time.
If you are viewing online videos… Well then you are adding aditional layer of complexity to the mix.
