Your video has done a good job of exposing bugs in the code. Yes - works! If I can't help with the code, at least I can help with the QC. Jim -- Porcine Associates LLC 244 O'Connor St. Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA +1(650)326-2669 fax +1(650)326-1071 ___

Sigh... Playing with the new version I find another problem. If you pause a video, then unpause, it may or may not resume. Sometimes audio only, sometimes the slider moves but no audio or video. Jim On 8/10/2020 5:10 PM, Ross Finlayson wrote: On Aug 11, 2020, at 4:49 AM, Jim Ham wrote:

There was another bug in the server’s handling of seeking within “.mkv” files. I’ve just installed a new version (2020.08.11) of the code that should fix this. Ross, this is awesome! The streamer now works as expected. Thanks you! Jim -- Porcine Associates LLC 244 O'Connor St. Menlo Park, CA

This is a problem just with this particular file - “Tanya.mkv” - not a problem with the media server or streaming in general. You can see this if you just play this file using VLC locally - i.e., just as a file, not via streaming. VLC thinks that the file is 10:22 long. But in reality it c
