 * I have FLV videos that I’d like to stream, however it appears that the entire
   file has to load before it playback begins. I entered a value into the Settings“
   Playback Behaviour > bufferlength” parameter in the Settings page, but when I
   saved the options, the value did not get saved.
 * Is there a specific embedded syntax I need to use? I’m currently using an entry
   similar to this:
 * [flash [http://someurl.com/path/movie.flv%5D](http://someurl.com/path/movie.flv%5D)
 * I also tried this…
    [flash [http://someurl.com/path/movie.flv](http://someurl.com/path/movie.flv)
   f={bufferlength=2}] …but the entire movie still loads before playback.
 * Thanks!!

 * Maybe the player (or the version I use?) cannot handle to (pre-)buffer that file
   format or the format does not support this. MP4s work for me.
