Delay in loading locally hosted video after latest update
-
Since the latest update (8.3.9 - 31 March 2025), I’ve noticed a significant delay in loading a locally hosted video.
I don’t have exact data to back this up, but previously, the video would start almost instantly. Now, it takes 3-5 seconds before it begins to play.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this? I hope this can be improved!
