@Creator2

I tried so much extensions

namely which?

[ChrisWard]

Where are the videos? Online? There are external factors such as the speed of broadcast, speed of broadband, neither of which a video player can improve. You could improve the load speed by pre-downloading the video but much depends on the video size - are you talking about block buster movies or music videos?

[TIMAI2]

Videos may also need some encoded parameters to enable them to stream (instead of having to download the complete video before playback) - and this may depend on which video player you are using.

Are you viewing over wifi or data network ?

(note, it is a 2.8mb file of 12 seconds in length)

Try this

The same video, re-encoded. (208kB) - so 1/10th the size

ffmpeg -i scr1.mp4 -vf "scale=720:-2" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k scr2.mp4

ffmpeg -i scr2.mp4 -movflags faststart -c copy scr3.mp4

Upload this to your firebase storage and test (Try the native video player)

Note: you can do all this encoding on the device using @vknow360 's excellent ffmpeg extension:

You haven't answered any of the questions regarding the time it is taking to view a small video - you said 5 minutes before viewing ?

Let us deal with that first.

Did you try uploading the smaller video I provided to firebase storage, then test viewing that ? Did it make any difference ?

[Creator2]
