in all browsers with java/vlc engine - no buffering progress is shown in progress bar
right... VLC and Java have no api to provide this information. Fruthermore they buffer into-memory rather than agressivly downloading the whole file. So they only buffer ahead a given amout of time and throw away the data after the playhead. This need to be fixed up-stream in the plugin-types. We need to file separate bugs for VLC and cortado to have them support buffer api over javascript. I will leave this open.
tagging this won't fix .. as its an issue upstream projects.
Chatted on IRC earlier about this. More of a LATER +upstream issue
