Buffering Configuration

You can fine-tune the video buffering behavior using the BufferingConfiguration class. This allows you to optimize the playback experience based on network conditions or specific application requirements.

note

Buffering configuration is currently available only on Android.

Implementation Example​

PlayerDataSource _betterPlayerDataSource = PlayerDataSource(
      DataSourceType.network,
      Constants.elephantDreamVideoUrl,
      bufferingConfiguration: BufferingConfiguration(
        minBufferMs: 50000,
        maxBufferMs: 13107200,
        bufferForPlaybackMs: 2500,
        bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs: 5000,
      ),
    );

Configuration Options​

  • minBufferMs: The minimum duration of media (in milliseconds) the player will attempt to keep buffered at all times.
  • maxBufferMs: The maximum duration of media (in milliseconds) the player will attempt to buffer.
  • bufferForPlaybackMs: The duration of media that must be buffered before playback starts or resumes after a user action (like seeking).
  • bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs: The duration of media required to resume playback after an automatic rebuffer (caused by buffer depletion).
