html5 video preload

Question

Is it possible to preload an html video? Note: the tag is created dynamicly later.

Currently I can do this with images by creating a hidden div and putting all the ima

Answer 1

I had a similar problem in IE, some of the videos are display:none, and when I show them IE doesn't show first frame...

I used the following code to solve it, when I show the hidden videos I call preloadAllVisible()

var preloadAllVisible = function() {
    $("video:visible").each(preload);
}
var preload = function(key, vid) {
    vid.play(); 
    setTimeout("pausevid("+key+")",100);
}

var pausevid = function(key) {
    vid =$("video:visible")[key];
    vid.pause();
    vid.currentTime = 0;
}
