Online video players - how to improve their interface

One of the problems when watching online video is when content loading into the player is slower than playing it. I want to see something right away. They pressed the play button, and the video slows down, constantly stops due to lack of content. And not always the speed of connection to the Internet is a bottleneck, the reasons may be different. But still, what to do? OK. We pause and wait for the video to fully load into the player and then watch.
Or, an accelerated version, we are waiting for the moment when the content is not fully loaded into the player but nevertheless in sufficient quantity so that when playing the already loaded video the rest would have time to fully load. And here we have to evaluate the download speed "by eye". Common situation?

Actually, an assessment of the ability to play video without brakes is proposed to be included in the online player interface.

The first picture here is just for example. Youtube interface is well known to everyone.


In the second picture, the actual visualization of the idea. Pay attention to the content download scale. In this example, we believe that the player estimated the download speed of the video as good, appreciated that he would have time to get all the content while the existing one was playing and highlighted the download scale in green. Giving thereby the user to understand that now you can press play and comfortably watch the clip to the end without brakes.
Well, if the player assesses the situation as not very good, he believes that he will not have time to pump up content, then accordingly he shows the standard scale - the red one.

I hope that this idea has the right to life.
