Re: mp4 streaming/seeking works from firefox (fedora) and not from firefox (windows) (nginx 1.9.3)

Re: mp4 streaming/seeking works from firefox (fedora) and not from firefox (windows) (nginx 1.9.3)

aha! yes, the cause of the problem was the lack of range handling in the PHP page i am using for streaming the files. i forgot that that is a requirement of the process! i have added the videostream class to the page and so far the streaming is working well in my tests :) Posted at Nginx Forum: h

Re: mp4 streaming/seeking works from firefox (fedora) and not from firefox (windows) (nginx 1.9.3)

oh, so it seems likely that i need to add extra logic into the PHP page that handles the video stream to support range requests - as detailed here: http://codesamplez.com/programming/php-html5-video-streaming-tutorial Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,260615,260852#msg-2608

i thought i had solved this by adding the header for accept-ranges - since when i did that i could then seek in firefox on windows 7. however, after testing further i found that the results are inconsistent and ultimately it is still somewhat broken. i have added more details to this to a new quest
