Hi Dmitry,

  1. Please do not write in Russian language. Respect our Suport Policy.
  2. Those files are from Google (YouTube), if you are using clips from this source. And yes, more clips and then more files. It's not up to us, that's how this system is built from Google Embed Code.
  3. Maybe you can consider using different platform that can store / play clips.
  4. There is also alternative player on JED that uses different method, and loads YT files after somebody click Play, not before. First placeholder image is shown instead of the video. The visitor has to click to load the video. It may help a lot in Speed tests.

Your addon, it turns out, is incomplete if you suggest using an alternative from other developers.
Refine it so that you can use your add-on and the page does not slow down due to loading a third-party player.

Hi Dmitry.

Just to let you know. To get the functionality that you request, you need to make a completely new addon, but not finalize the existing one. This is a completely different logic of work.

Dmitry Goncharov Asked this

As an option. But the current addon, in fact, harms the site, which helps

Pavel

I agree with you. Personally, I use JS code and RAW HTML addon(s) to get the behavior you are talking about

Dmitry Goncharov Asked this

You can use anything and however you want. But in a particular case, there is a claim to the functionality of a particular addon.

If you would understend how it works, then you would have no complaints to the Video addon. I repeat, this is not possible to finalize, but need to create a completely new addon especially and only for YouTube video based on YouTube API JS but not on embed HTML. And not universal.

Dmitry Goncharov Asked this

The only complaint about the addon is that it provides low-quality functionality. Remove youtube support and leave only the download of your video. And then it turns out to be a disservice, if we speak in a Russian proverb))

Pavel

The situations in the development of the site are different. Often, customers want the YouTube player to display right away. Calling to delete YouTube support from Video Addon, you provide a disservice to many other SPPB users.

Therefore, your claims are not justified at all

Dmitry Goncharov Asked this

And do you think providing functionality that obviously worsens the site's performance is a client-oriented approach?

Pavel

It looks like you have too little experience in working with clients

Don't forgot about one more thing:

YouTube display ads, so it's possible that final user will see 1, 2 or 3 ads during watching a few minutes clip.
Not all users, have AdBlock with correct settings.
