Then 5-10 seconds afterwards a brief stall (maybe a stutter) occurs but no buffer fill, playback continues for another 5-10 seconds with vb bouncing around between 9830400 and about 7230000, and then a complete stall with vb dropping down to zero while the buffer fills to 100% before playback continues.
In the "bad" case, does the buffering occur once (or a small number of times) and then settle down?
Or does it buffer periodically throughout the movie?
I have tweaked the buffering logic to favour faster start time and seeking.
This deliberately sets the buffering threshold low, but with an exponential backout each time buffering occurs.
Typically you will get a few stutters in the first few seconds, but it should be permanently stable from then on (this is only reset on stopping that video).
The fact your video plays from beginning is probably because it starts with a low bit rate fade from black/static into logos.
