iPhone/iPad buffering

When attempting to play a video from my mobile device (iPhone/iPad), and I press the play button, nothing happens for a few seconds (like 10 seconds). Then it begins to play. Could there be a progress bar indicating that it is buffering or something?

Re: iPhone/iPad buffering

How are you watching the video, meaning what app are you using? When using my Roku player it will show a loading screen. But when using my Shield player using Kodi, there is no loading screen, just a blank screen until it finishes loading the video. I don't think there's anything that can be done from the Serviio side to show a loading progress bar. That's on the developer of the app you're using.

I just tried VLC and Infuse on my iPhone 16. I saw no progress bar, but my videos also loaded and began playing instantly. Of course, I'm on my home network with a strong WiFi network connected to my home Gigabit wired network, and my Serviio computer is also on the Gigabit network

What app are you using to play videos on your iOS device?
