Currently, when playing a video hosted on a server with no-range request support, we end up having to download the entire file into memory.
This could be improved in multiple-ways:
- Disable seeking or only allow seeking in buffered area and drop content as playback progress.
- Cache content to disk
- Reduce memory usage
This is a meta bug to track those incremental improvements
