Description Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya] 2021-10-27 23:49:20 PDT 
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
