Is there a way to prevent the Original HTML5 player from preloading? Something similar to youtube’s preload=“none”.

I’m using Wowza Streaming Cloud and my embed code is:

```auto
<div id='wowza_player'></div>
<script id='player_embed' src='//player.cloud.wowza.com/hosted/xxxxxxxx/wowza.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

```

Thanks!
