HI Rob, thanks for your input! Yes, all files are identical.
And no, i'm not 'manually' preloading/-rolling anything (is that possible at all?) And i was asuming that AVQueuePlayer would be doing this automatically... Basically AVPlayer already does what i want when it plays live an HTTP-stream from a m3u8 playlist with '.ts' segment-files. I have thought of the option of 'serving' a local '.m3u8' playlist containing the video files, but that seems a bit odd to me .. and it could possibly introduce a ton of new problems. gr arri On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 9:49 PM, Robert Martin <robmar...@frontiernet.net> wrote: > I'm a patzer, not an expert - but a couple of thoughts occurred: > > Are all files the same dimensions and compressed identically? > > There's also probably some latency in opening and pre-rolling a movie - d= epending on the codec.
