Hi all,

I have a possible enhancement for totem, that would make the video-experience a lot better.

When watching online-video-streaming with playlists (so for example by using .asx files you can download for example from tvthek.orf.at), it is annoying, that between the videoclips you have the timespan of buffering.

It would be a really nice feature if you could set totem to pre-cache the next videoclip automatically (for example to start buffering 10 seconds before the clip before is finished).

Thanks a lot for designing such good software!
Cheers,
Phil
