How can I get G2 to start playing my videos, normally mp4's, before the video has fully loaded?
Right now the entire video loads and then starts playing.
Thanks, Anne

Thanks for the reply...
Multimedia is installed,
mp3audio is deactivated,
Flash video is deactivated,
rewrite rule for Multimedia is active, and
ffmpeg is active.

The mp4 videos do not play until fully loaded
and
I do not get an icon from ffmpeg

some users have reported that the rewrite rule is /f, make sure it is /m instead.

Changed it from f/ to m/ ....
I also deleted the old mp4 files , uploaded and added them to the album again.
NO difference....

this is an issue I have not seen in a while. you must use old/free encoding software.
