Question about Video Loader Behavior
Jul 13, 2011
Hi. I'm hoping a member of the Articulate staff can answer this. Is Presenter's inherent behavior to load a video/MP4/FLV each time a person gets to that specific slide? For example, if I have a preloader in place, will the program reload the video file each time a person gets to that slide, no matter if a preloader loaded the video file previously? I've tested my video both with a preloader and without. Both files seem to behave the same way. Even in the one without a preloader, if I watch the video and then go to a different one, the video doesn't seem to stay in the cache. It doesn't seem to stay loaded. I can go right back to that video after previously leaving it for a different one, and it acts as if I've never viewed it or loaded it. That's odd behavior for a player. Usually if you watch a video once, it stays in the cache and you can view it much faster during the second viewing.
Although, I have noticed that this all works better in IE rather than in Firefox, almost like IE preserves cache for videos better than Firefox does.

Hi Tammy. Out of the box videos are cached so not sure why that's happening but maybe it's related to your preloader.Not sure.
Okay. Good to know that. Thank you, Justin.
