If I use the video object and link it to a video (mp4) on the server, when a customer starts to play it, does the video need to be downloaded before it will start playing or will it grab frames from the server as it goes on?

cheers

I'm pretty sure at some point it streams it unless you check to preload it first.

The preload attribute is only a browser hint. preload="auto" may cause substantial or even full prefetching, but not always. With preload="none" or metadata, the browser usually delays downloading more data until playback is requested. Video playback can still start before the whole file is downloaded, depending on buffering and server/browser behavior

Sorry
