Delay in the start of video playback when using preset config
Hello. I use widget for uploading videos to cloudinary from a client, I need to setup start offset transformation with adaptive format .m3u8, my preset transformation config

Async transformation request

In frontend I use this (element object contain publicId)

When I playing video in first time, there a big delay in 5, 10, 20 seconds, in most cases that ended with error

Then, when I played video at second time, everything is okey, so I thought maybe that is some problems with transformations, seems the video is transformed on the fly, but transformation should solve that problem? or what I am doing wrong?
UPD:
The same situation when I'm using chain transformation with streaming profile

Hi Francois, It seems like the generation of the derived video is not 100% completed when you first try and access it. You can use the eager_notification_url parameter to add webhook notification to your flow, to make sure you request the video only after it's generation is fully completed. Please let me know if that makes sense?

I talked with Raz Ziv via email and we find a problem. It was wrong transformation chain, I had to choose format: m3u8 instead of fetch_format:, so after that fix all works as expected, you could close this ticket.

Thanks for the update! Glad Raz could help :)
