Fully buffer video in Chrome

Question

Is it possible to fully buffer HTML5 video in Chrome (and Opera)?

I host the movie in .mp4 and .webm on amazon S3. In HTML I use standard tag.

Answer 1

Have you tried the canplaythrough event?

Not in the traditional sense, I mean. Rather in a 'hacky' way. canplaythrough is triggered when the browser detects that it has enough video buffered to play continuously without pausing. I am guessing that this event triggers about the same time as chrome pauses buffering. If that's the case, it could be use to trigger a request for rest of the video.
