  • Hi Craig,

    This looks very interesting. Is there any way to tell how long vimeo vids are before loading them? This is important for people with limited broadband. Thanks.

  • Hi Pebble. Just to the right of the bottom-left play button is (at least for me) a little white ’speech rectangle/bubble’ thingee that says 07:56 (7 minutes, 56 secs).

    If you have slow internet, hit the play button, then after it’s got started a second or two, hit the pause button. While paused, the video will continue to buffer (you can see the progress bar move along). After it’s buffered enough, or completely, hit the play button again.
