Optimize video player engine to prevent buffering

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

Acknowledgements

• My suggestion is NOT about adding a new provider
• I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.

Start by reproducing the buffering with the current internal video player using the stated 100 Mbps connection and approximately 2GB files. Trace the existing buffering, caching, and rendering path before evaluating optimization options. Done means smooth playback with substantially fewer stalls under comparable conditions, including for 2GB+ media.
