Hi @eni8ma,
I just tried it and looked on the video for few minutes on different devices - laptop and mobile with landline and mobile ISP... no any break during the play. There was sometimes initial delay 2~3 seconds at most - something that may be compensated with avoid using autorun and play with script (with well tuned delay) so to let it initial buffering.
On my connection (not very fast) it plays well... I don't know what to say. 🤷 I cannot reproduce what you described - "buffering every 5 seconds".
Try investigate your connection further. Good luck.

Hello, thanks again for your response
Just to double check would you be able to try the code below which is the player embed. As mentioned when i watch the video in dropbox itself it plays fine but when I try to embed via plyr.js it buffers on mobile
