Hello,
Is anybody here?

I'm not sure what problem you're having. Buffering speed is directly related to:

• whatever server is hosting your video
• the bandwidth available between the user and the server

Plyr is a wrapper for either HTML5, YouTube or Vimeo and has no control over any of the above.

If you want a fast service to host your videos, you can look at services like:

• Cloudflare with their R2 product
• S3 and CloudFront on AWS
  ...plus many more.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your reply, I'm trying to play a video from google drive, but I just don't understand why the progress bar for buffering sometimes shows up sometimes doesn't, and displays very slowly.

My answer to that would be, you might want to look into upgrading your internet connection 👍🏼 If it plays fine with minimal buffering, it's not really a big problem.
