How to reduce webapp loading time

So the counter is counting the data transcribed, not the data received by the browser, right?

If the player started playing as soon as the counter starts it would shave the waiting time by more than that, more than half, almost as good as the other apps.

I will try around with ffmpeg.

The playback in the browser require transcoding, and it does it to HLS, which is widely supported, but wont start playback until there is at least couple of segments available.

If you use a native player, like NextPVR.exe or yauiclient or kodi etc, you'll get substantially quicker video startup and channel change time.

Yes, I know about the trancription but now I'm confused. Is this a limitation of the browser that won't start playing until it has 2 segments or ffmpeg that requires a buffer to start encoding?
