I’m using the .NET MAUI MediaElement to allow users watch previously uploaded videos from the cloud. My code is almost identical to the given example, but unfortunately, the time to load a video is unacceptable.

Although I use hot storage, which is also located in my georegion, and my Internet connection is over 200Mbps, a standard 1080p 30FPS video takes about 10 seconds to start playing. Smaller low-res videos take less, but a longer 4K 60FPS takes nearly a minute!

Is this a known MediaElement problem? Or are there any best practices on how to set things up better here? E.g., type of storage, video format, chunking, buffering or streaming parameters, etc.
