Buffering an entire video streaming

I try to buffer an entire video streaming for playing it without any break at all. The idea is to start the video streaming, "stop it / Pause it" and wait for a while then restart it. This way it would not make any pauses when the streaming is too slow. I check already the post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1168957 I work with the version 74.0 (64 bit). I set up in the "config":

  • media.cache_readhead_limit to 9999
  • media.cache_resume_threshold to 9999
  • media.cache_size to 512000000 (instead of 512000)

It looks like the buffer never keeps the video data after "loading" part or all of the video! 1- After a very long time the video is frozen and does not restart. 2- After a while I can restart the video (halting the PAUSE, returning to PLAY) but the internet traffic of the loading of the streaming is also restarting with break times as slow connection. I ran a few experiences by checking the "Internet Traffic" when the only activity of my home connection is the video streaming.

Is there a way to config Firefox for retaining the whole entire video stream into the video buffer and watch the video without any break during the PLAY?

Thanks in advance for your help and answer. Best regards.

Hiya Richard B. , I'm a "Movie Nut", myself, and I've noticed lots of changes with streaming lately, also. I'm no computer genius but, I think that it has something to do with the way the player triggers the next stream segment.

In a way it's 'more gooder' because now a whole movie can stream in at about 13MB of data where it would've taken about 900MB before.

I have hard time to believe there is not a solution for loading temporary the whole entire video and then to play it in once w.o. any "pauses" due to slow streaming. In my case my PC is having enough memory to store the video. Many sites don't let to access the video files and that is impossible to work around by downloading the video. So, I am still looking for a setting that can do what I would like.
