 * Short update.
    I test it now with a smal Video that is only 10min long and it
   works. But if i have a Video with 1 hour it doent work. How can i optimize it

 * Hi Umland,
 * You’d need to use streaming hosting for a video that long or wait a long time
   for the video to buffer. You could put your long video on line at a lower resolution
   with higher compression (smaller file size). We’d recommend [putting a CDN in front of longer videos](https://foliovision.com/player/video-hosting/using-keycdn-with-fvplayer)
   or indeed any videos which will get quite a few views (speeds up downloads around
   the world).
 * Thanks, Alec

 * Perfect. FV Player supports both Amazon S3 and even encrypted HLS in Amazon Cloudfront.
 * Thanks, Alec
