 * Hey Matteo,
 *  I have a video background set up on a website, but the video doesn’t start or
   even display until around 10 seconds after the user is on the website. Any reason
   for this or any solution?
 * It’s reeeally slow to get started
 * Thanks

 * 10 sec. seams really a long time…
    Are you setting a startAt value for the video
   or it starts from the beginning?
 * The plug-in should start showing the video once Vimeo sends the first playable
   buffer; so it should not depends on the plug-in side but from Vimeo itself.
    
   Did you try using a different video?
 * Let me know,
    Matteo

 * Hey, thanks for your reply.
 * It is starting at the beginning, just very slow to get started. Maybe it os a
   problem with Vimeo. We reduced the size of the video but it didn’t change much..
 * Thanks
