Description (last modified by )
The HTML5 video tag has a few options on how a video is loaded on page load. Currently, MediaGoblin uses preload="auto" which causes the whole video to be downloaded on the end users side, even if they don't actually play the video. The preload="metadata" option will only load the metadata and first frame of the video on page load. This can help site navigation quite a bit during low-bandwidth times (such as through 3G on phone's wifi hotspot). I have edited the mediagoblin/templates/mediagoblin/media_displays/video.html file on my MG instance to have the 'metadata' option. A couple of examples: http://url.jpope.org/9a and http://url.jpope.org/99
