Optimize video player engine to prevent buffering #3097

Description

@aravind481

Describe your suggested feature

Summary

Heavy video buffering occurs on a 100 Mbps internet connection when playing files (~2GB), heavily impacting playback performance.

Current Behavior

Videos frequently buffer and stall, even when the file size is relatively small (around 2GB) and network bandwidth is high (100 Mbps). The current internal video player does not seem to utilize network speed efficiently or manage caching effectively.

Expected Behavior / Feature Request

Implement a more robust video player engine or add optimization options inspired by high-performance players (like the UC Browser video player engine) that feature:

  • Advanced Caching: Aggressive pre-loading/buffering algorithms to maximize available bandwidth.
  • Playback Boost Options: Performance optimizations/hardware acceleration to ensure smooth rendering.
  • Buffer-Free Streaming: Seamless playback for 2GB+ media files on standard high-speed connections.

Environment Details

  • Network Speed: 100 Mbps
  • Average File Size Affected: ~2GB
