The default cache is set to 1200, if i change the value, the problem will show later but without solving the issue. Any suggestions? is there a possibility to preload in cache the movie? Maybe it's possible but i don't see a bar showing the progress of preloading.

Thanks in advance,

No, VLC does not support preloading. You can download the file instead anyway.

Hi Rèmi and thanks
