Audio and Video Pre-pulling

Overview

When the network connection is unstable or the audio and video files are too large, users may encounter problems such as first-frame loading delay or playback lag. The audio and video pre-pulling feature of EdgeOne can effectively improve these problems. It automatically caches part of the audio and video data before the user clicks and plays, significantly shortening buffering time and ensuring a smooth viewing experience even under unstable network connection. Additionally, audio and video pre-pulling is the default configuration policy of EdgeOne, with optimal parameters set for audio and video scenarios. Users only need to select the corresponding recommended scenario when adding a domain name to enable the feature by default.

Feature Principle

HLS/DASH files: When the client requests an m3u8/mpd file, the edge node of EdgeOne pulls ts/m4s segments in advance to increase the speed of response to subsequent requests.
MP4/FLV files: When the client initiates a range request, by expanding the scope of the range request before the origin-pull, files are pre-cached to the edge node of EdgeOne to improve response efficiency.

Directions

If you need to enable the audio and video pre-pulling feature, you can refer to the following steps:
